Source: uwsgi
Version: 2.0.31-4
Usertags: pidof-without-procps

Dear maintainer(s) of uwsgi,

it appears that uwsgi uses `pidof` in its testsuite, or that
at least one of its binary packages uses `pidof` at runtime.
Historically, `pidof` was provided by the Essential package
`sysvinit-tools`, making an explicit dependency unnecessary. However
`pidof` will soon be moved to `procps` and will no longer be part of
the Essential set.

Please add an explicit dependency on `procps`:

* via the `Depends:` field of all binary packages of uwsgi
  that use `pidof` at runtime;
* via the `Build-Depends:` field of uwsgi, if `pidof` is
  used in tests run at build-time;
* via the `Depends:` field of `debian/control/tests`, if `pidof` is
  used in autopkgtests.

To prevent any disruption for users of uwsgi, please add
this dependency now, before `pidof` is moved from `sysvinit-utils` to
`procps`. Alternatively, you could remove all uses of `pidof`.

It is believed that uwsgi uses `pidof` due to the following
code snippets:

```
path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/gh-shared.sh
    date > reload.txt
    sleep 3
    pidof uwsgi && killall uwsgi
    sleep 1
    pidof uwsgi && killall -9 uwsgi


path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/gh-shared.sh
http_test() {
    URL=$1
    UPID=`pidof uwsgi`
    if [ "$UPID" != "" ]; then
        echo -e "${bldgre}>>> Spawned PID $UPID, running tests${txtrst}"


path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/gh-shared.sh
    pidof uwsgi && killall uwsgi
    sleep 1
    pidof uwsgi && killall -9 uwsgi
    echo -e "$@"
    if [ -e uwsgi.log ]; then


path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/travis.sh
    date > reload.txt
    sleep 3
    pidof uwsgi && killall uwsgi
    sleep 1
    pidof uwsgi && killall -9 uwsgi


path: uwsgi_2.0.31-3/tests/travis.sh
http_test() {
    URL=$1
    UPID=`pidof uwsgi`
    if [ "$UPID" != "" ]; then
        echo -e "${bldgre}>>> Spawned PID $UPID, running tests${txtrst}"
```

Feel free to close this issue if this is a false positive (for example
if this code is in an unreachable code path).

Regards,

Thanks for the hint, however this is not run by the build time test suite
or by debian-ci, thus closing.
