At least this is what init.d scripts expect (seen with ntlmaps too). /haubi/
[gentoo-dev] python-wrapper breaks init scripts
Hi, I just stepped over a problem with the new python-wrapper. If I interpreted the changelogs correctly, since eselect-python-20090801 /usr/bin/python is no longer a symlink, but a wrapper. I find this a questionable idea simply for the overhead it causes, but it seems that this breaks all init-scripts using start-stop-daemon for python scripts. Example: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286191 (same issue happens with some self-written python daemons we're using on our servers) I don't know what the reasons were for the change from symlinks to a wrapper, but if it should stay the way it is, we need a fix for those issues. -- Hanno Böck Blog: http://www.hboeck.de/ GPG: 3DBD3B20 Jabber/Mail:ha...@hboeck.de signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
