allow /etc/default/couchdb to control whether couchdb is started by default
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-499
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-499
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.10
Environment: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)
Reporter: Elliot Murphy
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.10
couchdb starts by default when installed on Ubuntu (or any debian derivative).
In Ubuntu, we are including couchdb in the default desktop install.
however, we are not using the system couchdb, we are starting a per-user
couchdb instance on-demand.
separately, ubuntu is working on minimizing boot times.
it would be nice if laptops and netbooks did not have couchdb startup time
included in a normal system boot unless the user really wanted to have the
system couchdb starting up. this is the Ubuntu bug number for reference:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/427036
One way to fix this would be to use a variable in /etc/default/couchdb to
determine whether or not to start the system couchdb instance. This is the
approach that is taken by pulseaudio, fetchmail, and monit. I'm discussing this
fix with Ubuntu core-devs now:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~statik/ubuntu/karmic/couchdb/fix-bug427036/+merge/11543
I'm also attaching a patch which changes the init script and
/etc/couchdb/default in the way I've just described.
