Heya, first off, thanks for this contribution to the LTS, it's much appreciated!
As it happens, Ubuntu Precise has now progressed into Final Freeze. Right now changes to the distro are limited to just ultra-critical release bugs that the release team has flagged as priorities. Most other bugs, including this one, need to now be handled as Stable Release Updates (SRUs) or left until the next release (Q-series) opens for development. For reference, here is the SRU Policy Doc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates I've looked at your patch and think it may qualify as an SRU, but there's a bit extra paperwork, which helps establish the justification for the change and makes the change easier for reviewers. Would you mind helping by filling in some blanks? I've pasted in the standard SRU template into the bug description. Click the yellow pencil icon to the right of 'Bug Description', and fill in the empty sections. Also, while the patch itself looks ok, there are a few changes necessary to target it as an SRU: 1. In the changelog entry, target the upload to 'precise-proposed' rather than just 'precise'. 2. The version number should increment by a point rather than a full number. Examples: Currently in precise Proposed for precise-proposed foobar-1.2-1 ---> foobar-1.2-1ubuntu0.1 foobar-1.2-1ubuntu2 ---> foobar-1.2-1ubuntu2.1 foobar-1.2~dfsg.1-1 ---> foobar-1.2~dfsg.1-1ubuntu0.1 foobar-1.2-1ubuntu1.5 ---> foobar-1.2-1ubuntu1.6 3. Make certain the correct bug # is listed in the changelog entry description, in this format: (LP: #123456) 4. Doublecheck the maintainer is set to Ubuntu. Easy to do, just run `update-maintainer` and it'll fix it. ** Description changed: - Summary: the apache heartbeat RA that ships with both the universe - package and PPA does not include a line to guarantee the existence of - /var/run/apache2, which is usually done by apache2ctl.

I originally raised this in https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource- agents/issues/70 but then realized this PPA isn't in sync with what they're doing there. (I'm guessing this package is downstream from that?) The line in question, at that remote repo, is https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource- agents/blob/master/heartbeat/apache#L177 I discovered this bug in the course of setting up a Linux HA cluster locally. The line I'm proposing be added is also absent from the universe cluster-agents package that ships with lucid. (See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/cluster-agents /lucid-proposed/view/head:/heartbeat/apache#L399) I'd submit a patch but I am not much up to speed on bzr... it's one line though so not too complex. ** Also affects: cluster-agents (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Ante Karamatić (ivoks) Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: resource-agents (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Ante Karamatić (ivoks) Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: cluster-agents (Ubuntu Q-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: resource-agents (Ubuntu Q-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Apache RA doesn't create /var/run/apache2 + Apache RA doesn't create /var/run/apache2 [SRU] ** Changed in: resource-agents (Ubuntu Q-series) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: resource-agents (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: resource-agents (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: resource-agents (Ubuntu Q-series) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu High Availability Team, which is subscribed to cluster-agents in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980180 Title: Apache RA doesn't create /var/run/apache2 [SRU] Status in “cluster-agents” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “resource-agents” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “cluster-agents” source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in “resource-agents” source package in Precise: Incomplete Status in “cluster-agents” source package in q-series: New Status in “resource-agents” source package in q-series: Incomplete Bug description: [Problem] <1-2 sentence summary of the issue> [Impact] <fill me in with explanation of severity and frequency of bug on users and justification for backporting the fix to the stable release> [Development Fix] <fill me in with an explanation of how the bug has been addressed in the development branch, including the relevant version numbers of packages modified in order to implement the fix. > [Stable Fix] <fill me in by pointing out a minimal patch applicable to the stable version of the package.> [Text Case] <fill me in with detailed *instructions* on how to reproduce the bug.
