I have posted an update to the RFP bug describing the latest
fixes/improvements made to the karaf debian package:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881297#40
The following fixes/improvements have been made:
1. I've run lintian with the following argument and fixed all of the
complaints:
lintian -vIiE --pedantic --color=auto karaf*.changes
karaf_4.1.4-10~9.30_all.deb
2. I've corrected the ownership of /etc/karaf:
- The ownership has been changed from karaf.karaf to root.karaf
- The mode has been set to 2770 on /etc/karaf/ itself (karaf,
running as user karaf, must be allowed to create new .cfg files in
this directory)
- Set ownership root.karaf and mode 2750 on all files in /etc/karaf/
except for the .cfg files and config.properties
- Set ownership karaf.karaf and mode 2770 on all of the .cfg files
and config.properties, because karaf needs to be able to write to
them
3. Moved KARAF_HOME to /var/lib/karaf and let /usr/share/karaf/ have
ownership root.root.
$KARAF_HOME/bin, $KARAF_HOME/lib and $KARAF_HOME/system are all
symlinks to /usr/share/karaf/
4. Added SYSV init.d files
Note: these are not extensively tested, because the only way I had
to test them was to build .deb packages with the systemd stuff
removed and try to install them and see that the daemon started, and
that was a lot of work
5. Moved karaf.log from $KARAF_DATA/log/ to /var/log/karaf/
6. Bumped the upstream karaf version from 4.1.4 to 4.1.5
