This document contains some suggestions on how to build frontend service
files for this repository and how to contribute them. They do not cover what the
-[official documentation](https://web.obarun.org/software/66/frontend.html) does,
+[official documentation](https://web.obarun.org/software/66/latest/frontend.html) does,
but are common sense rules for frontend building.
There is not one true way to build frontends as the format is quite flexible and
1. @execute scripts should be written in execline or sh. The former is preferred
but not mandatory. When somebody writes in sh, they must take [the differences

2. @execute should contain the necessary setup and **only** the minimum command
switches for the service to run (e.g. to keep it in the foreground).
3. Every other switch should be under [environment] in *cmd_args* or other proper
variables.
4. *cmd_args* replaces *$OPTS* in scripts based on runit services.
5. [stop] section replaces the *finish* script of runit services. Other than
-that, [stop] may be used only if it is needed or it whould substantially

improve the service.
6. Obarun frontend files are obviously a fantastic source of information. Please
be aware that sometimes the policies and/or assumptions of obarun are very
different than those of voidlinux.
7. Do not include configuration file paths or change default configuration
files with variables in [environment].
-7. @version value should always be @VERSION@
+8. Every new frontend service file is released originally with a @version value of 0.0.1 and
+is incremented in the following releases only if there a change.
9. When using execline syntax in @execute, @build=auto may be ommited.
10. Try to keep frontend service files compact, simple and easy to understand.
A user can always customise them and put the customised version in /etc/66/service.
