Note that this is a fork of https://github.com/kardianos/service where FreeBSD support was added recently with https://github.com/kardianos/service/commit/14b2cc59a290407a6f1cb3daba59069429d9665b I'm not sure why gitlab-runner would use a fork rather than the primary repository, but perhaps they can be convinced to switch and gain better FreeBSD support in the process. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
