--- Begin Message ---Package: git-daemon-run Version: 1:2.11.0-3+deb9u4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I installed git-daemon-run recently for the first time. It took me several hours to figure out why the service appeared to be started but I could not make a connection to the daemon. "systemctl status git-daemon-run" would show that the service was in status "Active (exited)" but there was no git daemon running on the system, and therefore my git clone connections were all refused. After some investigation I found this mysterious line in /etc/init.d/git-daemon: # Exit if the package is not installed [ -e /usr/share/git-core/sysvinit/sentinel ] || exit 0 The file does not exist on the system. After failing to find any information about the "sentinel" file, I simply commented out this line, and then the daemon started correctly after reloading the systemd configs and doing a 'systemctl restart git-daemon-run'. Then I able to make git protocol connections and (after another hour of figuring out how to tweak the config file) was able to clone my repository. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.9 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-9-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git-daemon-run depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii git 1:2.11.0-3+deb9u4 ii runit 2.1.2-9.2 git-daemon-run recommends no packages. git-daemon-run suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Source: git Source-Version: 1:2.47.1-1 The latest version of git in sid does not include runit configuration any more, meaning this bug no longer applies. I enjoyed using it, but it isn't responsible from a security perspective to keep it as a recommended configuration. Thanks for the helpful user input while it was included. Jonathan
