Description of problem: Installing syslinux-tftpboot creates all files in /tftpboot. TFTP aemon by default runs from /var/lib/tftpboot. Package syslinux-tftpboot should change the directory holding all the files to /var/lib/tftpboot/. Bug is present in syslinux-tftpboot-4.05-4.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install syslinux-tftpboot and xinetd/tftp-server 2. Enable tftp server in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp or with systemd's tftp.socket Actual results: Files are not served through TFTP, the directory /tftpboot is not "standard"; all the served content should reside under /var/lib/tftpboot, as defined in the tftpd server default configuration file. Expected results: syslinux-tftpboot should install all files under /var/lib/tftpboot. Additional info: Same bug is present in Fedora 17, 18 and 19/rawhide.
Updated to f19, as it still has problems.
I was just going to report this, but found this existing bug report. This a long-standing bug, with a trivial fix. Why does this keep slipping past QA? Since syslinux-tftpboot is useless without tftp-server, I would have thought that somebody would have bothered to check that both packages would agree on a location to serve files from.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
This bug still exists in F21. However I think the right solution is probably to just drop the syslinux-tftpboot pacakge entirely, since both /tftpboot and /var/lib/tftpboot are really out of bounds for packages. It would then be up to the admin or some other program to copy the images into the right place as needed. But it *would* be very nice if the images in /usr/share/syslinux could be split into their own noarch subpackage, like syslinux-tftpboot is now. That way the images would be available on all arches for packages that want to serve them up.
