A patch for the avahi-dnsconfd initscript of avahi-0.6.6-2. none

Description Kai Thomsen 2006-01-23 23:04:54 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060103 Fedora/1.5-4 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
Starting the avahi-dnsconfd initscript fails, although avahi-daemon is running. The cause is a missing ";;" inside a case statement.

Besides, the avahi-dnsconfd service is not "visible" to tools such as chkconfig or system-config-services because its initscript wrongly states "avahi-daemon" as the service name, which is (not surprisingly) already used for the avahi-daemon itself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
avahi-0.6.4-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure avahi-daemon is running.
2. service avahi-dnsconfd start


Actual Results:  The initscript errors out without starting avahi-dnsconfd.

Expected Results:  avahi-dnsconfd should have been started successfully.

Additional info:

# service avahi-daemon status
Avahi daemon is running
# service avahi-dnsconfd start
/etc/init.d/avahi-dnsconfd: line 91: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/etc/init.d/avahi-dnsconfd: line 91: `  *)'

A patch for the initscript.
Comment 2 Kai Thomsen 2006-01-23 23:52:36 UTC 
Sorry, apparently I was wrong as to the reason for the "invisibility" of the
avahi-dnsconfd service: The initscript simply isn't "chkconfig --add"ed in the
RPM package's post-install scriptlet yet.
Comment 3 Jason Vas Dias 2006-01-24 00:16:57 UTC 
OK, fixed with avahi-0.6.4-4 in rawhide-20060124 / FC-5t3 .
Comment 4 Kai Thomsen 2006-02-10 00:29:22 UTC 
The patch below contains some more (mainly minor) corrections to the 
initscript. A different lockfile name is given so that it doesn't collide with 
avahi-daemon. Just some suggestions for an overhaul... :) I realize the 
initscript is not used by default yet (avahi-0.6.6-2).

A patch for the avahi-dnsconfd initscript of avahi-0.6.6-2.
Comment 6 Ville Skyttä 2006-02-12 20:35:21 UTC 
avahi-dnsconfd is still not "chkconfig --add"ed in 0.6.6-3.1 (see comment 2).
Comment 7 Kai Thomsen 2006-09-21 02:19:30 UTC 
Re comment 6:

This has been fixed in the meantime (I've looked at 0.6.10-1.FC5).
