Bug 16034 – ntp does not install /etc/init.d/ntpd, /etc/conf.d/ntpd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Oliver Schoett 2003-02-19 16:06:23 UTC]

After emerging ntp-4.1.1b-r4.ebuild (v1.4), there are no files
   /etc/init.d/ntpd
   /etc/conf.d/ntpd
These seem to be needed to run ntpd as a daemon.  Unlike for /etc/ntp.conf,
there are no sample files in /usr/share/ntp either.  I had to pull the files
from CVS.

[BTW, it would also be nice to suggest "rc-update add ntpd default" somewhere]

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-misc/ntp

where there any errors on merge ? if not this is a portage bug ;) 

[Comment 2 Oliver Schoett 2003-02-20 15:41:03 UTC]

Created attachment 8548 [details]
Log file from "emerge ntp"

I did "emerge -C ntp" and then "emerge ntp | tee emerge-ntp.log".  Again, the
two config files did not get installed.  Attached is the log file.

Looks like it's just not installing anything...
Portage doesn't acknowledge any files are put in /etc,
protected or not.

from the ebuild: 
        exeinto /etc/init.d ; newexe ${FILESDIR}/ntpd.rc ntpd 
        insinto /etc/conf.d ; newins ${FILESDIR}/ntpd.confd ntpd

compile install 
<ebuild does its thing>

/var/tmp/portage/ntp-4.1.1b-r4/image/etc/init.d:

Did you delete these files before?
try 'emerge --noconfmem ntp' in
portage-2.0.47-r3 when I put it out shortly.
Or try 2.0.47-r2 with the same option.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2003-02-22 15:45:13 UTC]

umm, i think the user emerged ntp for the first time ... not sure though ... 

[Comment 7 Oliver Schoett 2003-02-23 10:26:56 UTC]

With portage 2.0.47-r3, the two config files got installed - both with emerge --noconfmem and simply with emerge.

(I had installed ntp for the first time, and before each test, did emerge -C and moved the two config files out of the way.)

[Comment 8 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2003-07-16 02:20:02 UTC]

old. fixed.
