Bug 85158 – Enhancement for net-dns/ez-ipupdate (better init-script)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2005-03-13 17:32:46 UTC]

since I have more than one config for ez-ipupdate (dyndns and nerdcamp) I made a better init-script.

if you use it as /etc/init.d/ez-ipupdate nothing changes. So it's compatible.

but if you symlink it to /etc/init.d/ez-ipupdate.<config> then you can have multiple configs in /etc/ez-ipupdate/ as <config>.conf.

furthermore, I setup always a cache-file and run-as-euser=nobody.

and last: I added an 'offline' command.

all in all, it works great for me. I hope you will put it into portage. thanks!

ez-ipupdate (init-script)

just replace the ez-ipupdate.rc6 in $FILESDIR.

Init scripts are not allowed to call exit. They should be replaced with return 1.

Re-assign, this package needs a maintainer.

I take it. Ebuild needs complete rework. Takes some time, but nonetheless, I 
take this beast. ;-)

ok. hard work. ;-)  
but new ebuild is in portage. Bug can be closed.
