Description of problem: The mlnet executable gets its configuration directory by environment variable. This has been $MLDONKEY_DIR for quite some time now: http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/HowToStartMLdonkey The service configuration file /etc/sysconfig/mldonkey still uses $DIRECTORY, which means that the service is always started with the default $HOME/.mldonkey (which is /var/lib/mldonkey/.mldonkey) because $MLDONKEY_DIR is unset. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mldonkey-3.0.3-5.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. systemctl start mldonkey.service 2. change $DIRECTORY in /etc/sysconfig/mldonkey 3. systemctl restart mldonkey.service Actual results: mlnet always uses /var/lib/mldonkey/.mldonkey Expected results: mlnet _should_ use $MLDONKEY_DIR Additional info: Changing from 'DIRECTORY' to 'MLDONKEY_DIR' in /etc/sysconfig/mldonkey should suffice: #DIRECTORY=/var/lib/mldonkey MLDONKEY_DIR=/var/lib/mldonkey
just to add. as well as amending the environment variable as detailed above, i also had to add : EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/mldonkey to the service section of the systemd config file in the : mldonkey-server-3.0.3-5.fc17.x86_64 package.

I guess, that would be what I dumped into #826297
Ping? Is the maintainer or one of the co-maintainers looking at this? Should be really easy to fix.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
