Bug #192

apcupsd pkgsrc package install is slightly broken
0%
Description
I've been on to the maintainer and he says to report it to DF people.
"Well, I tested with both pkgsrc-current (updated today) and pkgsrc-2006Q1,
in both cases the example script got installed in /usr/pkg/share/examples.
So it looks like it's a DF-specific problem ...
The package's makefile itself should probably not set RCD_SCRIPT_SRC
to ${WRKSRC}/distributions/netbsd/apcupsd for non-netbsd systems,
but it looks like the configure script would need some adjystements as
well."
The problem: the rc.d script doesn't seem to get installed.

I've got the full build log if it's needed, and can provide any other info!
Anyone willing to take a quick look at this one? I don't have a clue :-)

As far I personally tried apcupsd, the old version was unusuable for me.
Never got around to test the new version for USB UPS though. I still
have it around though.

Oh, damn. Why was it unusable? Because you use a USB cable?
Looks like I still won't be switching to DF any time soon then, there's
a few packages, which I need, that appear to be semi-broken, and I am
not clever enough to fix them myself :-)
The maintainer said he was going to look in to updating the package
possibly some time soon, by the way.

I have a USB-only UPS. So I have no other option, but a newer version.

Well, God knows I'm no expert, but I'm wondering if the script
got installed in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/ instead?
When I first started using pkgsrc I tried to keep the FBSD ports
system installed at the same time. I got hopelessly lost in the
details of where the rc and config files should be installed.
I'm still a bit uncertain about these details, actually, even
though I managed to get everything working just by trial-and-
error.
I remember (dimly) that doing a pkgsrc/bootstrap asks you where
you want certain things installed, like the rc.d directory, just
as one example.
Are there gurus out there who can give us the real facts?

It wasn't in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/, but I assume you meant to say
/etc/rc.d/ there? :-) Well spotted, I never checked there for it! I'll
have a look at that one later.

It is a little different, but I do like how everything goes under /usr/pkg.

It does?! When I ran the bootstrap script it just..... ran! Didn't ask
me any questions :-)

The confusion seems to be built into the pkgsrc utilities, e.g., if
you don't specify any directories when running bootstrap, it puts
the mk.conf in /usr/pkg/etc. But, the pkg_chk utility will look
at /etc/mk.conf by default unless to tell it to look in /usr/pkg/etc.
Very confusing. Try running bootstrap --help to see what you can
specify. Not that you would want to change the defaults, but I did
because I was trying to juggle pkgsrc and ports for awhile and got
pretty lost in the fog.

At least bmake doesn't really care. It tries ${PREFIX}/etc/mk.conf and
/etc/mk.conf in that order. pkg_chk is not supposed to care either, but
I will talk with the author about this bug.
For rc scripts, they go to /etc/rc.d by default (RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR),
unless overridden. Putting them anywhere but /etc/rc.d makes IMO only
useless trouble though.
