# void-66-services
66 service frontends for voidlinux
-Most frontends are heavily based on the corresponding services run scripts in
-the [void-packages](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages) repository
-(BSD-2-Clause license). Some of them are based on the
-[original Obarun services](https://framagit.org/pkg/observice) which are under
-the ISC license.
+The project contains services in the [66 frontend service file format](https://web.obarun.org/software/66/latest/frontend.html) for use with the Void Linux distribution. The services should work for other linux distributions with minor modifications. There is also some documentation and other information available in the repo.
+
+The project is licensed under the BSD-2-Clause license, please see the LICENSE file for information. It also contains services copied or derived from other sources - licensing information for these is in the LICENSE-3RD-PARTY file.
+
Service frontends can be placed in:
This is the default location for packaged services.
-- */etc/66/service/*
+- */etc/66/service/*
This is the default location for administrator services, that override the
default/packaged services with the same name if present.
**conf/** contains configuration files and scripts for the services.
The services contained in this repository are very much a **work in progress**.
+
+## Installation
+
+The [boot-66serv PR](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/25743)
+in the void-packages repo contains a template for the lastest released void-66-packages
+version. Creating a package from that template and installing it is the
+preferred method to get the frontend service files.
+
+Additionally, there is a template that creates packages from the master
+branch of this repo under *packaging/* for anyone who wishes to track development or participate
+in it.
+
+When using these packages, frontend service files will be placed in under */usr/share/66/service/*.
+To use them see the 66 documentation contained in the *66-doc* package, especially
+the man pages for *66-enable* and *66-disable* commands.
