Bug 285283 – media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.15-r2 : lacking init.d script ?

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Plopmaster 2009-09-17 09:42:03 UTC]

I juste upgraded to pulseaudio-0.9.15-r2, and I discovered that it's lacking /etc/init.d/pulseaudio, which make pulseaudio not be launched at boot time (I KNOW it's a bad thing running PA system-wide :) )
I see nothing in the changelog that announce that.
Bug or feature ?

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
/etc/init.d/pulseaudio is present

I'm not completely sure, but probably a feature
- IIRC, those init.d scripts, that are still in the tree
require baselayout 2, so they can't go stable yet.

Feature; if you want the init script you need openrc/baselayout2 which is not stable. And the feature is deprecated.

Hi Diego!
Do you mean we shouldn't use pulseaudio as a system-wide server? What's the reason?

Read the warnings in 0.9.17 ebuild or on PulseAudio's wiki.
