@Martin: Did not test a Gutsy upgrade. Tested hardy-proposed clean install to hardy (x86_64).
The proposed 'fix' of adding the -b (--background) switch to start-stop- daemon in /etc/init.d/motion for its 'start' case will only force the daemon to background the motion shell process - it doesn't deal with motion's specific behaviour of forking itself, which is what *should* happen. The problem that causes motion to launch during installation is caused by the debian/rules binary-arch: "dh_installinit" statement which would need to pass the "--no-start" argument to avoid motion starting during install. This is a *good thing* to do since the generic '/etc/motion/motion.conf' may not be configured correctly for the system's video devices. Install will succeed when motion.conf is *incorrect* since motion will exit immediately. The *reason* motion doesn't fork itself into the background is the debian/rules install: statement which uses sed to change the installed '/etc/motion/motion.conf' statement "daemon on" to "daemon off" I packaged 3.2.10-1 (a security bug-fix release) simply because I wanted the latest version and found the latest 3.2.10-1 motion-supplied package suffers the same problems as this current Ubuntu package. At that time I didn't know about this bug. I found it here only after I'd finished packaging and building the new version. I wasn't suggesting my changes/package were candidates for SRU but they're there if someone wants them. Although adding CDBS on its own may not be a reason for an SRU, I'd suggest it *is* if it is needed to apply patches to the original source when the package currently has *no* patch system at all, and source-code patches need to be applied. In this case I needed to fix a pointer-to-int conversion bug for 64-bit builds because motion makes extensive use of pointers converted to relative offsets of struct members in various 'struct context' memory spaces. All the fixes I've done are fully described in my previous comment in the Changelog quotes. -- Hardy upgrade - motion halts upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198292 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
