Bug 650148 – net-nds/rpcbind-02.4.-r2 will not start with systemd and USE="-warmstart"

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Neil Bothwick 2018-03-10 21:46:15 UTC]

The service file installed with this version tries to start "rpcbind -w -f" but this fails if rpcbind was built without warmstart support - which is the default.

% systemctl status rpcbind.service
● rpcbind.service - RPC Bind
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2018-03-10 21:44:13 GMT; 23s ago

Rebuilding with USE=warmstart, or removing the -w option from the service file both result in a successful restart.

s/warmstart/warmstarts/

Adding this function to the ebuild fixes the issue:

pkg_preinst() {
    use warmstarts || sed -i 's:ExecStart=/sbin/rpcbind $RPCBIND_OPTIONS -w -f:ExecStart=/sbin/rpcbind $RPCBIND_OPTIONS -f:' "${D}/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.service"
}

The contents of the function are a single line, Bugzilla helpfully wrapped them :(

Hello,

I confirm the issue.

The proposed solution look correct (I did not tested it)

@Neil Bothwick: please submit a patch, if you want I may make one.

fix rpcbind.service warmstart flags

Hello,

I made a patch to fix the issue. I tested it using epatch feature.

I will submit the patch to the main stream of rpcbind.

The patch add or remove the "-w" of the rpcbind.service file at configure phase according the the --enable/disable-warmstart flags.

Best regards.

rpcbind-0.2.4-r3 is in the tree, but instead of using either of the solutions given here it brute forces the problem by forcing on the warmstarts flag if systemd is set.
