Package: git-daemon-run
Version: 1:2.11.0-3+deb9u4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I installed git-daemon-run recently for the first time. It took me several
hours to figure out why the service appeared to be started but I could not make
a connection to the daemon. "systemctl status git-daemon-run" would show that
the service was in status "Active (exited)" but there was no git daemon running
on the system, and therefore my git clone connections were all refused. After
some investigation I found this mysterious line in /etc/init.d/git-daemon:
# Exit if the package is not installed
[ -e /usr/share/git-core/sysvinit/sentinel ] || exit 0
The file does not exist on the system. After failing to find any information
about the "sentinel" file, I simply commented out this line, and then the
daemon started correctly after reloading the systemd configs and doing a
'systemctl restart git-daemon-run'. Then I able to make git protocol
connections and (after another hour of figuring out how to tweak the config
file) was able to clone my repository.
