Bug 21600 – app-i18n/canna init script fails to detect error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vadim Berezniker 2003-05-24 06:07:10 UTC]

This is really an error with canna, but it affects the gentoo init script for canna.

If cannaserver fails to start, it does not set a proper return code. 

I workaround this by changing
        /usr/sbin/cannaserver ${CANNASERVER_OPTS}
        eend $? "Failed to start canna"
to
    /usr/sbin/cannaserver ${CANNASERVER_OPTS} 2>&1 | grep ERROR > /dev/null
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
        eend 1 "Failed to start canna"
    fi
which detects the string ERROR in output of cannaserver (pretty bad hack)

The best thing would be for cannaserver to set error code on failure.

[However the canna site is entirely in Japanese, and my Japanese is not good
enough to do anything ... ]

I asked one of the canna developer about the problem and then 
he fixed it immediately. So I made a patch for Gentoo canna-3.6_p3-r1
according to the fix in canna CVS repository.

I added new ebuild as canna-3.6_p3-r2.ebuild.
Thanks!
