If you invoke distcc-config --set-verbose 0 on a machine that does not yet have a /etc/env.d/02distcc, it will improperly add a DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost" that overrides whatever is in /etc/distcc/hosts. Any future call to distcc-config --set-hosts "whatever" modifies /etc/distcc/hosts leaving /etc/env.d/02distcc intact. A user would only know that their host settings had been overridden by checking the output of "export |grep DISTCC". Further, fixing the problem requires intimate knowledge of /etc/env.d, /etc/profile and /etc/profile.env and their workings. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: DISTCC_CONFIG should NOT add DISTCC_HOST="localhost" to /etc/env.d/02distcc
Thank you. This is on my list of things to rewrite from my distcc inheritance.
With the addition of distcc-2.9 to the tree, the offending line has been removed pending a rewrite. That said, I'll mark this as fixed. If my bash skills are that feeble, please reopen this bug and give a verbal lashing. <shameless plug> Don't forget to give distcc 2.9 a go! </shameless plug>
