Description Sam Cole 2003-04-07 18:32:18 UTC

I wrote the attatched init.d script for Gentoo, like to see them included in
Portage.
These scripts assume the inclusion of a user called donkey along with a home
directory in /home/donkey/ also I needed to emerge netcat before using.

Reproducible: Always

another, much simpler (but definitly not as powerful) rc script

all this rc-script does is start and stop mldonkey.  It uses the -daemon and
-log_file flag of mlnet (which only exists since v 2.04rc1-9)

what's most annoying: it shows all files shared before going into quiet mode :(

an ebuild for the (not yet available 2.04 version)

mldonkey said 2? days ago (today=Sun 11 05 2003), that the new version should
come out this week.

This ebuild features a config part which creates an mldonkey user/group.

It might be a good idea to mix the rc-scripts and use this ebuild.

if you don't want mldonkey to show all files it shares, just add
> /dev/null to the line starting it.

sorry, don't have time to look after this bug. Maybe someone else has time?

Comment 8 Julian Hoch 2003-08-12 09:40:49 UTC

hi, not knowing about these files I made a script/ebuild myself, bug #25695 (mldonkey-2.5.3-r1 in portage tree)
I included now some of your ideas in a new version, if you want to further develop  the script please contact me.

Closing, as we got this fixed in bug 25695 thanks to Julian.
