Problematic Sources

Type | Platform | Link | Promblem(s)
--- | --- | --- | ---
DEB | AOSC | aosc-os-abbs | Problematic build tag list modification
Homebrew | / | homebrew-core | Problematic build tag list modification
Termux | Android | termux-packages | Problematic build tag list modification
FreshPorts | FreeBSD | FreeBSD ports | Old Go (go1.20)

If you are a user of them, please report issues to them:

1. Please do not modify release build tags without full understanding of the related functionality: enabling non-default labels may result in decreased performance; the lack of default labels may cause user confusion.
2. sing-box supports compiling with some older Go versions, but it is not recommended (especially versions that are no longer supported by Go).

##

Operation | Command
--- | ---
Enable | `sudo systemctl enable sing-box`
Disable | `sudo systemctl disable sing-box`
Start | `sudo systemctl start sing-box`
Stop | `sudo systemctl stop sing-box`
Kill | `sudo systemctl kill sing-box`
Restart | `sudo systemctl restart sing-box`
Logs | `sudo journalctl -u sing-box --output cat -e`
New Logs | `sudo journalctl -u sing-box --output cat -f`
