| Summary | 0003927: patch to make --prefix and --bindir work, also adds --ircdname | ||||
| Description | This patch modifies: Config configure Makefile.in unreal.in ircdcron/ircdchk.in configure.ac autoconf/m4/unreal.m4 This patch enables the use of: --prefix=PATH --bindir=PATH This patch adds: --ircdname=NAME This patch removes: --with-dpath --with-spath This patch also: cleans up the --help output, informs the user what the defaults are, eg: --with-listen=BYTES Specify the listen backlog value (default: 5) --with-bufferpool=NUM Specify the size of the buffer pool (default: 18) makes the Config script play nicely with these changes fixes 0003926 by warning and preventing the executable path and name from being the same as the unreal script's path and name allows for deep pathnames (previously this wasn't possible because BINDIR was a path to a filename and not a directory, ask binki for more info on this) | ||||

please use: final-warg-prefix-bindir-ircdname.patch this also changes --with-disable-extendedban-stacking to --disable-extendedban-stacking. this makes more sense because we're enabling/disabling a feature, not tweaking settings for a package. technically there's a few more --with-things that should maybe a --enable-thing. *shrug* just an opinion. |

Deleted other patches as mantis provides no way to mark them as ``do not use''. |

Thanks binkmeister |

You should have mentioned that: 1) You are renaming the binary to 'unrealircd', or making it the default. This is not what I want, make it 'ircd' again. 2) Not sure what you did with SSL, it's at least not mentioned. Perhaps you could either scratch it, or make more clear that the =DIR is optional and will otherwise be autodetected... something like that... basically document what it does atm. Other than that, I'd still have to review the idea of this report itself, but I'm not against it. |

> 1) You are renaming the binary to 'unrealircd', or making it the default. This is not what I want, make it 'ircd' again. I think that, to support the standard ``./configure && make && su -c 'make install' '' paradigm, the name of the ircd binary should be renamed. A name as generic as ``/usr/bin/ircd'' cannot be claimed by any ircd project. Would it be enough to make a symlink from ircd -> unrealircd if the installation is a ``traditional'' instead of system install? |
|

Well, who said I would like to support the standard paradigm you describe :). In fact - and you're well aware of it - I don't, I want people to go through ./Config. Also, it's not like you are going to run 3 different ircds at the same time if you install it like that... |
|
|
For consideration in 3.2.10 -- need to think careful about this. Not urgent. |

Syzop i'll reduce this to have it only enable/use --prefix, --bindir, --ircdname and remove --dpath and --spath, and not touch anything other than necessary to change that. I was bored, and perhaps took too many LARGE steps. I specifically shouldn't have assumed that changing the ircd name is a good idea. I can just leave that up to the end-user instead. |

NEW: new-warg-prefix-bindir-ircdname.patch DELETE: final-warg-prefix-bindir-ircdname.patch default --with-ircdname is ircd default --prefix is `pwd` (classic) default --bindir is `pwd`/bin in configure, `pwd`/src in Config (classic) if the default is accepted Config, Makefile.in, unreal.in, ircdcron/ircdchk.in is changed to reflect the above changes I changed Config transparently (to the end-user anyway). The 2nd and 3rd questions are still the same, and I simply extract the bindir/ircdname from the answer using sed. This is so the end-user isn't confused by an unexpected change. 0003926 is still fixed in the exact same way. Note @ Syzop: I understand you don't want the typical paradigm, and want people to use Config, but as an long-time Unreal user, I believe the option should be available. Atleast if if works right, we won't have people asking stupid questions when it breaks =). We can still strongly recommend the use of Config, or maybe only support the use of Config. I guess my point is if it exists at all, then it should atleast work properly, and to the end-users expectation. |

Was about to put this in, before proceeding towards a -rc1/alpha/whatever, however the patch no longer commits due to the changes that have happened. If the patch could be re-based before the first -rc/.. is released, and it has no bugs, then I'll put it in. Otherwise, it will be in a later release. |

With the new directory style and the maaaany configure options, this is implemented (well, slightly different) |
