The init script that comes with net-analyzer/FlowScan/FlowScan-1.006-r2.ebuild doesn't work. It seems to be a problem with paths. The current script changes directory, and then runs start-stop-daemon with a relative path. This doesn't work. I have changed it to simply call flowscan with an absolute path, and it works now. I added an eend too just so we get an OK. Here is my patch:- --- /usr/portage/net-analyzer/FlowScan/files/flowscan.init 2007-02-01 21:06:29.000000000 +0000 +++ /etc/init.d/flowscan 2007-07-26 16:26:33.000000000 +0100 @@ -8,8 +8,9 @@ start() { ebegin "Starting flowscan processing" - cd /var/lib/flows ; start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -c flows:flows --exec bin/flowscan \ + start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -c flows:flows --exec /var/lib/flows/bin/flowscan \ -p /var/run/flows/flowscan.pid -m -b >> /var/log/flowscan 2>&1 </dev/null & >/dev/null + eend $? } stop() { Cheers, Dunc
Ah that formatting is all wrong, I'll mail it to you if you want, but it's so small anyway.
Hi folks, I realise this isn't a massive bug in the grand scheme of things (although it kinda is, as in the init script just doesn't work) I was just wondering if maybe the maintainer of this package is no more, or too busy or something, and that's why there has been no followups? I'm happy to help by taking over it if this is the case, if not then please accept my apologies if you just haven't got round to it yet. Dunc
Taking this... Applied your patch to -r3 in CVS, thanks for the report and sorry for the delay
Ah, I was going to follow up with another bit actually, just to display messages for stopping too. Can I browse the new file in CVS somehow? If so I'll send you another. Cheers, Dunc

Cheers, Dunc
Okay, makes sense ;) Though as it's not really worth the hassle for a recompile, I'm just applying this but don't revbump. Fixed in CVS, thanks and keep up the good work :)
