Description Peter Berry 2006-07-23 18:23:40 UTC
Description of problem:
All of the offical ejabberd documentation assumes you have a tool called
ejabberdctl, see for example http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/jabberd1-to-ejabberd .
However, this file is not present in the rpm from Fedora Extras for either fc5
or fc6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.1-9.fc5 and 1.1.1-9.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ejabberd
2. Try to use ejabberdctl in a context where you would expect to be able to
(e.g., as root with $PATH set appropriately)
  
Actual results:
Command not found

Expected results:
Command is executed

Additional info:
The file is a simple shell script wrapper around an Erlang program
(/usr/lib64/ejabberd-1.1.1/ebin/ejabberd_ctl.beam); this latter file is present
in the rpm. It's possible to use it via erl, but the syntax is awkward - it's
easier to just pull the script out of the SRPM.

Comment 1 Michael Rice 2007-04-11 16:31:04 UTC
The same problem is still in the current release: ejabberd-1.1.3-1

Any chance this tool can be included. Why is it missing from the rpm anyway?

ejabberd-1.1.3-6.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
