Bug 351403 – =media-video/ushare-1.1a - issue in /etc/init.d/ushare; starting the ushare server fails

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joachim Schiele 2011-01-12 02:31:15 UTC]

/etc/init.d/ushare is wrong, as the '-c' paramter for ${USHARE_DIRS} is missing (see below, where i added it)

        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --user ${USHARE_USER:-root} \
        --exec /usr/bin/ushare -- -D -i ${USHARE_IFACE}           \
        -n ${USHARE_NAME} ${USHARE_OPTS} -c ${USHARE_DIRS}        \
        ${ushare_port}                                            \
        ${ushare_telnet} ${ushare_telnet_port}                    \
        ${ushare_web}                                             \
        ${ushare_xbox}                                            \
        ${ushare_dlna}
        eend $?

this is a silent fail, the current version in portage will work nowhere as -c is needed, else no ushare service will star at all.

this is a gentoo bug (not upstream)

Reproducible: Always

I don't get why you do NOT have this line:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -c ${USHARE_USER:-root} \

what's the reason for the discrepancy?

I also am unsure why your init is missing the -c.  In any event -c is being deprecated in favor of -u, this change will be handled in bug 403979.  Once that is in the tree, please re-emerge and make sure to update your configs!
