Description Alex Buell 2010-06-10 21:24:35 UTC

There needs to be an initscript for starting bootparamd, at the moment there isn't one. It would be nice to have one. 

Reproducible: Always

Hello Alex,

this package is maintainer-needed aka orphaned, can you provide a working one to lower the bar for any random dev to commit this into portage? There are plenty of them with start-stop-daemon, which has some cool features like "create pid file".

Thanks Michael

I'll take over the maintenance on this ebuild, if that's what's wanted.

Ok, grab a dev and set up a proxy-maintainership.

But just a working init-script would be cool, too.

Where might I find a nice and friendly dev? IRC?

Yes, they're all friendly!
You can look for the last committers, check out http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-misc/netkit-bootparamd/

But I can't stress this enough, attach a working init script and there are plenty of devs just lingering around and willing to commit "ready" things. Like ssouminen ;-)

Comment 6 Alex Buell 2010-06-12 15:53:55 UTC

OK, I've jut sorted out a couple of scripts. /etc/init.d/rpc.bootparamd for use with NFS, along with /etc/conf.d/bootparamd for configuration.

bootparamd initscript

This depends on NFS being up as it uses RPC.

Comment 9 Alex Buell 2010-06-12 15:55:53 UTC

Is this enough to sort it out? Anything else?
