Thanks for your patch, applied in git.

I am rather surprised that ippl still has users. It is dead-upstream for
more than a decade, it doesn't do IPv6, and its job can easily be
replaced by iptables/nft rules.

Hm. Easily. I am still using it myself. I should have migrated away a
decade ago.

Greetings
Marc

Bug#1042760: create RUNDIR

[Matus UHLAR - fantomas]

Package: ippl
Version: 1.4.14-13

Hello,

the bug#390154 was reintroduced in 1.4.14-13 by not creating $RUNDIR

I'm attaching patch that fixes this behaviour, modified to use "$RUNDIR" 
variable.


In addition, start-stop-daemon now uses "$CONFFILE" intead of hardcoded file 
name
