Bug 123230 – www-apps/rt rt-3.4.5 has an issue in the reconfig script

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description corey 2006-02-17 21:58:43 UTC]

The problem is in the 'reconfig' script that the rt ebuild provides.  It uses 
two environment variables ( PN and PVR ) that aren't actually set when the webapp-config script is ran manually. Since they're not set, a very crucial bit of final processing/configuration gets skipped - which is the cause of the problem:

the 
/var/www/<vhost>/rt-<version>/*/*.pm's
end up with config variables that point to
/usr/share/webapps/rt/<version>/hostroot/rt-<version>/*/*.pm's

This results in a serious misconfiguration where the webapps root is used rather than the vhost document root.

# PN=rt; PVR=3.4.5; export PN PVR
# webapp-config -I -h <vhost> -d rt rt <version>

... will force things to work correctly.


When the 'vhosts' USE flag is _not_ set, and the webapp-config gets ran automatically, then those env vars are available at the time the script runs, and everything works out with no issues.

So I don't know whether this is simply a documentation bug ( http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?GentooInstallGuide ), or whether it is an ebuild bug.

I'm guessing that the best fix would be to have the
/usr/share/webapps/rt/<version>/hooks/reconfig
script end up containing the correct PN and PVR values in whatever manner is the right way of doing that sort of thing in portage.
