Description Joshua Ferguson 2023-01-02 16:59:04 UTC

Description of problem:
1. document linked in /usr/lib/systemd/system/taskd.service is nonexistent and a website not owned by the developers of the project. should probably point to either https://gothenburgbitfactory.github.io/taskserver-setup/ or https://taskwarrior.org/docs/
2. it seems that starting the taskd service immediately after the network is available causes the service to fail. may be worthwhile to include a timer in the package as suggested in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Taskd#taskd.service_fails_to_start_on_boot . another approach is to restart the service if it goes offline, my systemd knowledge is a bit lacking there though
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.0

How reproducible:
for 2:
each reboot it reoccurs

Steps to Reproduce:
for 2: 
1. enable the systemd service
2. reboot


Actual results:
for 2:
service fails with temporary failure in name resolution, and doesn't reattempt

Expected results:
for 2:
The service starts on boot

Thanks for the bug report, Joshua.

Upstream moved websites so all links in the sources need to be updated. I expect a new release will include these changes. If there aren't too many changes, we can carry patches in Fedora. I'll take a look.

I do remember running into the service issue myself too. I'll file an issue upstream and see what the devs say.

Cheers,
Ankur

Comment 2 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2023-01-30 10:17:12 UTC

Looks like these are both fixed upstream in 1.2.0, we're just waiting for a new release:

https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskserver/blob/d1fb597ce8b0b3cba3bf655e6a2525b92cb430b7/scripts/systemd/taskd.service#L4

- TD-117  Wrong systemd target, taskd can fail if multi-user.target is up
          earlier than the network
          (thanks to Sebastian Sonne).

EPEL 7 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-06-30.  EPEL 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
