cman init script on Gutsy doesn't care about /etc/default/cman configuration file

[P.-A.]

Binary package hint: redhat-cluster-suite

cman package on Gutsy doesn't care about the /etc/default/cman file.

version : 2.20070823.1-0ubuntu1
arch : amd64

[Herbert Straub (herbert)]

I confirm this situation also on i686. The cman packages containing /etc/default/cman file and /etc/init.d/cman. The attached patch works for me.

Same situation on Hardy (2007-11-05) version:

||/ Name Version Description
+++-====================-====================-========================================================
ii cman 2.20071022-0ubuntu1 cluster manager
ii redhat-cluster-suite 2.20071022-0ubuntu1 red hat cluster suite (meta package)

[Ante Karamatić (ivoks)]

None of the options in /etc/default/cman is used in /etc/init.d/cman. Maybe the real fix would be removing /etc/default/cman?

[Herbert Straub (herbert)]

I think, the /etc/default/cman configuration file ist usefull, because I can change the CLUSTER_JOIN_TIMEOUT parameter without modifying the /etc/init.d/cman file.

[Herbert Straub (herbert)]

The configuration file /etc/default/cman is an equivalent on Redhat systems to: etc/sysconfig/cman. Ante Karamatić, you are right. The combination of init.d and default are not up to date. I attache two patches to fix this situation.

[Herbert Straub (herbert)]

Sorry, a little bug (if is wrong) in my last patch :-(

[Herbert Straub (herbert)]

Same situation with

To get your fix included in Ubuntu, try transforming it into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submitting it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess).

Marking 'incomplete' for now.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Setting to In Progress.

[Herbert Straub (herbert)]

Sorry, I overlooked the entry from 2008-02-05. I created a debdiff and attached it.

[Morten Kjeldgaard (mok0)]

This is also a problem in hardy. Debdiff attached.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Chuck: can you please take a look at it?

[Morten Kjeldgaard (mok0)]

SRU team, please ack this for upload to Hardy 8.04.1

[Ante Karamatić (ivoks)]

Last patch, redhat-cluster_2.20080227-0ubuntu2.debdiff, looks ok. Chuck?

[Mathias Gug (mathiaz)]

To get a SRU published a test case needs to be added to the bug description as outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

As for the debdiff, it should be based against the latest version published in hardy and should be targeted to hardy-proposed instead of hardy.

Unsubscribing the sponsor team for now. Resubscribe once this bug has all the information needed for a SRU (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).

Hardy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the Hardy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
