Package: jsvc Version: 1.0.15-6 Severity: minor Tags: upstream Before 1.0.15, jsvc did not change working directory in any way, so the way to set the cwd for an application was just to cd to the proper directory before calling jsvc.
Starting with 1.0.15, the -cwd option was added, which is indeed a useful addition. However, 1.0.15 now *always* changes directory, with / as the default. This means that -cwd now basically has to be used if a specific cwd is needed. Of course, -cwd is an invalid option with versions before 1.0.15, so now it's impossible to make an init script that works with both older and newer jsvc setups. It's not clear to me why leaving the cwd as is if -cwd isn't used wasn't kept. As an extra annoyance, -version doesn't work without also setting seemingly unrelated options, so adding code to set -cwd based on jsvc version is harder than it should be. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages jsvc depends on: ii libc6 2.19-12 ii libcommons-daemon-java 1.0.15-5.1 Versions of packages jsvc recommends: ii default-jre-headless [java2-runtime-headless] 2:1.7-52 ii openjdk-7-jre-headless [java2-runtime-headless] 7u71-2.5.3-1 jsvc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
