Is this the right place to report and discuss an apparent bug with packaging in ppa:cz.nic-labs/bird ? If not, please advise where would be better.
If it is the right place... I'd like to report that bird on Xenial doesn't restart after a reboot, using bird version 1.6.0-1+xenial+1 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/cz.nic-labs/bird/ubuntu xenial/main amd64. It appears the package is a bit inconsistent in its init system handling: - It installs init configuration files for SysV, upstart and systemd. - Its postinst (install-time) script calls 'update-rc.d bird defaults' and 'invoke-rc.d bird start'. On Xenial (which uses systemd), the invoke-rc.d call goes through to systemd - or at least, systemctl status bird indicates running after an 'invoke-rc.d bird start', and inactive after an 'invoke-rc.d bird stop' - but the update-rc.d call does not call on to 'systemctl enable bird'. Hence the observation that bird is not restarted on reboot. Thoughts? From analogy with other packages (that are systemd-enabled when installed), I think the fix may be as simple as: - adding '--with systemd' to the dh invocation - adding dh-systemd as a build dep. Thanks, Neil
