Public bug reported: Binary package hint: transmission
Upstream, in order to fix http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2505, has changed the way that settings.json file is saved (see http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3172 for details) and now it overwrites /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json symlink with the real file on both receiving HUP signal and exiting. After transmission-daemon is restarted users' changes made to /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json are going to be silently ignored. There are three possible fixes proposed in the upstream ticket, the last one does look like the safest route. Reporting on Launchpad to keep track of it for the possible SRU. ** Affects: transmission Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: transmission (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Triaged ** Affects: transmission (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #579304 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579304 ** Also affects: transmission (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579304 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Transmission Trac #3172 http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3172 ** Also affects: transmission via http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3172 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- transmission-daemon overwrites settings.json symlink https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
