Bug 43094 – Leafnode-2.0.0_alpha20040206 is looking for config file in /etc/ instead of /etc/leafnode/

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rui Malheiro 2004-02-27 05:49:07 UTC]

After emerging leafnode-2.0.0_alpha20040206, leafnode  is looking for the config file in /etc/ instead of /etc/leafnode/

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge "=leafnode-2.0.0_alpha20040206"
2. leafnode
3.

Actual Results:  
# leafnode 
503 Server misconfiguration: cannot read configuration file. 
# tail /var/log/messages 
Feb 27 13:37:05 vincent leafnode[17556]: cannot open /etc/config: No such file 
or directory 
Feb 27 13:37:05 vincent leafnode[17556]: 503 Server misconfiguration: cannot 
read configuration file. 
 

Expected Results:  
leafnode should be looking for the config file in /etc/leafnode/config 

Workaround: 
Specify the config file on the command line. I'm using xinetd, so I added 
"server_args = -F /etc/leafnode/config" to /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode-nntp. 
 
Aditionaly, during the emerge the folowing files were (wrongly) installed 
into /etc/: 
>>> /etc/config.example 
>>> /etc/filters.example

You must add "--sysconfdir=/etc/leafnode" to econf() (see below for my suggested src_compile()).


- local myconf
- 
- # ------------------------------------------------------
- # Enabling IPv6.
- # ------------------------------------------------------
- # If this was misdetected, then run either
- #   env cf_cv_ipv6=no /bin/sh ./configure YOUR_OPTIONS
- # or
- #   env cf_cv_ipv6=yes /bin/sh ./configure YOUR_OPTIONS
- # (of course, you need to replace YOUR_OPTIONS)
- # ------------------------------------------------------
-
- use ipv6 && myconf="--with-ipv6" ||     export cf_cv_ipv6=no

  econf \
+ `use_enable ipv6 IPv6` \
+ --sysconfdir=/etc/leafnode \
+ --enable-runas-user=news \
+ --enable-spooldir=/var/spool/news || die "econf failed"
- --with-runas-user=news --with-spooldir="/var/spool/news" \
- ${myconf} || die "./configure failed"

punting these to you, Thomas, since you have some history with this package.

I just added leafnode-2.0.0_alpha20040513 to portage. This should fix this issue. Thanks for reporting.
