Bug 388395 – net-misc/dhcp-4.2.2-r2: chroot should use --enable-early-chroot for per-service config files

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Touch 2011-10-25 00:26:35 UTC]

When starting dhcpd in chroot it uses config file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
and ignores config file /chroot/dhcpd.foo/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge =net-misc/dhcp-4.2.2-r2
2./etc/init.d/dhcpd.foo start
3.
Actual Results:  
 * Starting chrooted dhcpd.foo ...
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/dhcpd'                                                                                                            [ !! ]
 * ERROR: dhcpd.foo failed to start


Solution: 
add to dhcp-4.2.2-r2.ebuild in section:
src_configure()
after:
        econf \
string:
                --enable-early-chroot \
then:
ebuild dhcp-4.2.2-r2.ebuild digest
and remerge dhcp

why is this a problem ?

[Comment 2 Touch 2011-10-25 05:47:34 UTC]

When using multiple dhcpd in different chrooted directories, the config file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf is one for all. Dhcpd is not using different config files in chrooted directories such as  /chroot/dhcpd.foo/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and /chroot/dhcpd.foo1/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
