thanks for maintaining infinoted.
Would you mind if I uploaded an NMU of infinoted just with the patch
from this bugreport applied? I verified that the patch works. It's
somewhat annoying to not have init system integration of infinoted.
I'll go on with an NMU (to delayed-7) if I don't hear back from you.
I'm pretty reluctant to maintain an init script at all and that's the
primary reason why I haven't merged one - as soon as it's legit to just
have a systemd service, I'm very happy to add one to the packaging. I
also think service files should've been submitted upstream and work
consistently across platforms, which this one won't (due to the
Debian-specific /etc/default setup, also infinoted.service references an
${OPTIONS} that isn't actually set?). It also uses /etc/infinoted for
variable data (directory owned by the service user to store the key
material there) but doesn't even put the config file into that directory
- instead it lives in the non-discoverable /etc/xdg directory. I suppose
given that it's managed by ucf it's not even a conffile (which is good,
but again not discoverable).
I feel you could feel free to take over the package and if there's
ongoing maintenance/migration work commit to that? Rather than doing an
NMU for a wishlist bug? That'd be fine with me.
Kind regards and thanks
