Created attachment 303839 [details]
changed --dir flag to --directory and it starts fine

--dir is now --directory, so I changed it in /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and puppet starts fine

Comment 2 Eric Martin 2012-03-01 16:37:50 UTC

Created attachment 303841 [details, diff]
patched /etc/init.d/puppetmaster

--dir is now --directory.  I patched the file and it starts fine

Comment 3 lklm 2012-03-02 14:43:54 UTC

I confirm this.

The bug is due to shortened option used in initialization file. openrc had only --directory option before current version so it worked fine. Current trunk added a second option (--directory-truncate) so the shortened option name became ambiguous.

The attached patch works. Please push this upstream.
