Bug 16505 – different gentoo-rsync-mirror rsync init and system rsync init

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-02-27 17:14:09 UTC]

rsync init from system works with
rsync --daemon

the rsync init in gentoo-rsync-mirror with start-stop-daemon

[Comment 1 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-02-27 17:14:37 UTC]

net-misc/rsync init

depend() {
        use net
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting rsyncd"
        rsync --daemon ${RSYNC_OPTS}
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping rsyncd"
        kill `cat /var/run/rsyncd.pid`
        eend $?
}

[Comment 2 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-02-27 17:15:11 UTC]

gentoo-rsync-mirror init

depend() {
        need net
}

# FYI: --sparce seems to cause problems.
RSYNCOPTS="--daemon --safe-links --compress --bwlimit=700 --timeout=1800"

start() {
        ebegin "Starting rsync daemon"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/rsyncd.pid --exec /
usr/bin/rsync -- ${RSYNCOPTS}
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping rsync daemon"

sorry, i only used the scripts provided in the official gentoo linux rsync mirrors policy at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml

so i think the policy needs an update...
but i'll change the scripts anyway

[Comment 4 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2003-03-19 13:43:33 UTC]

Ok, i just committed gentoo-rsync-mirror-1.0-r2.ebuild with an updated version of rsyncd.init.
Please check/test and report if it's stable enough for unmasking.

[Comment 5 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-03-19 15:39:36 UTC]

works great

now the init script diff is only the parameter line

could be masked as stable i think

[Comment 6 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2003-03-19 15:51:16 UTC]

Ok, unmasked it and cleaned out old ebuilds.
Closing this bug now, thanks for your help.
