Bug 355187 – ebuild for media-video/coherence-0.6.6.2 fixing init script, adding coherence user

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Johannes Duschl 2011-02-16 14:45:12 UTC]

The current init script omits to create a pid file, when stopping the process the pid file cannot be found and stopping fails, while coherence continues to run.

Reproducible: Always.

Steps to reproduce:

1. start coherence /etc/init.d/coherence start 
2. stop coherence /etc/init.d/coherence stop

Results expected:
Process coherence is stopped.

Actual results:
Stopping the process fails, process will continue running.

Further coherence runs as user root, while it could be run as user coherence.

Adds user coherence, coherence.conf, /var/log/coherence for logging.

Ebuild that fixes some issues with coherence-0.6.6.2:

* adds user coherence to run the process as user coherence rather than root
* adds directory /var/log/coherence/ for coherence.log
* adds /etc/coherence.conf

coherence init file that fixes the pid error.

Adds --make-pidfile and makes aware of /etc/coherence.conf as well as /var/log/coherence/coherence.log
