Bug 79446 – DISTCCD Add DISTCCD_PATH to distccd init.d script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Hallas 2005-01-25 04:28:08 UTC]

It would be nice if the distccd init.d script also added the DISTCCD_PATH variable to its path. And also add an example on how to set this variable in the /etc/conf.d/distcc file.

The change could be implemented like this:
--- /etc/init.d/distccd 2005-01-13 18:49:13.000000000 +0100
+++ distccd     2005-01-25 13:23:19.773346464 +0100

        --pidfile ${DISTCCD_PIDFILE} -- \
        --pid-file ${DISTCCD_PIDFILE} -N ${DISTCCD_NICE} --user distcc \

And the conf.d file:

The init.d file should have been changed to reflect this ages ago.

This is a dupe, but I'm lazy and don't have my email handy.
