Control: tags -1 + help Hi. I would like there to be a systemd unit, but I'm not really qualified to write one. Colin (CC'd) foolishly said he might be able to help. [0]
To try to make the task easier, I have developed an autopkgtest which tests that the daemon will run with the sysvinit script (which I intend to continue to ship). This also revealed some problems which made the tests fail in testing, so I have fixed those. I have tested the result with autopkgtest-virt-qemu and a freshly made forky image, and it (now) functions as expected. Colin, the resulting branch is here: git clone chiark:/home/ian/things/Sauce/sauce -b debian If someone else is interested in helping, please LMK and I'll make somewhere better to share this branch. [1] Thanks, Ian. [0] I think SAUCE is a sufficiently minority program, and sufficiently complex to set up in any case, that failing to autostart after the trixie->forky upgrade would be a tolerable regression. So if no systemd unit is forthcoming I propose to document this in the release notes somewhere, and downgrade this bug, rather than removing the package from forky. [1] SAUCE does not currently appear to have a public git repo that isn't dgit.debian.org or on GNU infrastructure (which I'm no longer keen on using). Normally in a situation like this I would upload right away, since the code is an improvement over what's in the archive - but my PGP key is temporarily disabled for Reasons. I'm hoping this situation will be resolved within the next 2-3 weeks. So I don't propose to make a repo on Salsa or indeed a public one on chiark, unless someone other than Colin says they want to work on it. -- Ian Jackson <[email protected]> These opinions are my own. Pronouns: they/he. If I emailed you from @fyvzl.net or @evade.org.uk, that is a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
