Upcoming change to worker startup procedure

[subpop]

I'm planning to introduce a breaking change to the worker startup procedure in PR #37. A worker is no longer identified by the existence of an executable program in /usr/libexec/yggdrasil/ with a filename ending in "worker". Workers will now only be identified by the presence of a configuration file in /etc/yggdrasil/workers that defines the location of the executable, among other properties.

@subpop When are these changes going to be released?

I don't know yet. My first goal is to get things merged into main so they will ship in the next yggdrasil release. But even that won't land in CentOS without my packaging it.

A little more info here; this will be merging to main, and will be part of the next "major" release of yggdrasil, version 0.3. Version 0.2.x will continue to start workers the implicit way. This allows us to be more deliberate about how long we decide to maintain the 0.2 branch. Existing distributions using 0.2 will continue to operate as expected without any disruptive change like this.

PR #37 has been merged to main and will be part of yggdrasil 0.3.
