** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Description changed: Binary package hint: dpkg I'm currently packaging a new upstream version of preload for Jaunty. The Intrepid version currently ships a patch to set the IO priority of the preload daemon via a command-line switch to preload. However, - upstream have implemented their own fix for setting the IO priority of - the daemon by running it with ionice from the init script. + upstream have not adopted this patch and have implemented their own fix + for setting the IO priority of the daemon, by running it with ionice + from the init script. So, I have a dilemma: 1) I could keep the Ubuntu patch for setting the IO priority, but this won't get accepted upstream. 2) I could adopt the upstream init script, which wraps the daemon with ionice (but doesn't use start-stop-daemon). Neither option is ideal. The ideal option would be for me to use start- stop-daemon to run preload and set its IO priority. However, start-stop- daemon cannot currently do this. I've attached a patch that should fix this -- start-stop-daemon cannot set a process's IO priority https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306961 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
