Description Tomasz Ostrowski 2015-08-31 14:59:56 UTC

Description of problem:
Clamd started from SysVinit script can't save PID in file /var/run/clamd.<SERVICE>/clamd.pid because /var/run/clamd.<SERVICE> directory does not exist.

This causes that init script can't shutdown clamd service.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
clamav-server-sysvinit-0.98.7-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure /etc/init.d/clamd.defang for MIMEdefang:
#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: - 75 35
# description: The clamd daemon listens for incoming connections on            \
#               Unix or TCP socket and scans files or directories on demand.

export CLAMD_SERVICE=defang
. /etc/init.d/clamd-wrapper

2. systemctl start clamd

Actual results:
Aug 31 16:39:35 hostname clamd[2878]: Can't save PID in file /var/run/clamd.defang/clamd.pid

Additional info:
clamd-wrapper should create /var/run/clamd.<SERVICE> when starting clamd. /var/run is a tmpfs so it can't be worked around by creating it manually.

Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2015-08-31 15:03:31 UTC

I am tempted to say, that clamav-server-sysvinit is not really supported
and/or will go away sooner or later with a future ClamAV update...

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2015-12-16 18:09:41 UTC

I really see no reason to have sysvinit in EPEL7.

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2015-12-16 18:10:27 UTC

And certainly nothing should *require* the sysvinit packages as clamav-milter currently does.

yes , I'm removing it in next commits

Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2018-01-08 20:37:27 UTC

When dropping -sysvinit, would you please also be so kind to merge -systemd
into the corresponding package including proper provides/obsoletes? IMHO it
doesn't require a subpackage for -systemd any longer without any other init
concept being supported by the package :)

Comment 6 Sergio Basto 2018-01-09 02:06:18 UTC

Hi, Robert  
- epel6 still need support to sysv and upstart
- since we can build sysvinit , systemd and upstart at same time, with --with systemd --with sysvinit --with upstart , the only way I see is use Obsolete: -sysvinit but in other package like clamav 

I'd like build package clamav-0.99.2-15 for el6 , what do you think ?

Comment 10 Robert Scheck 2018-01-10 01:18:26 UTC

Ah, upstart :( I thought about moving -sysvinit and -systemd into its main
packages and using conditionals to enable as needed either or - rather the
current different subpackages (so just -server rather -server-<initsys>).

Comment 11 Sergio Basto 2018-01-10 01:25:55 UTC

Look at my last commit [1], if we not build, it we obsolete it , on update of epel 7 or on upgrade from epel 6 we obsolete sysvinit ...

Comment 12 Robert Scheck 2018-01-10 01:27:37 UTC

Yes, but we still have a separate -systemd subpackage on EPEL 7 and Fedora,
even there are no other -<initsys> subpackages, right? And this is what I
would like to see changed ;-)

Comment 13 Sergio Basto 2018-01-10 01:43:38 UTC

Right , I don't mind keep the 3 -<initsys> in spec, now that is more easier maintain it (with my clean up) . But rhel6 EOL is just November 30, 2020 (almost in 3 years) .

I'd like build package clamav-0.99.2-16 for el6 , what do you think ?

I will wait 2 or 3 days, for feedback on clamav-0.99.2-16 on FC27 and after that I will make updates for F26 and epel7, after the packages in stable updates repos , I'm thinking update epel 6 with the same package ...

Comment 24 Kevin Kofler 2018-01-25 17:52:29 UTC

FYI, shipping SysVInit scripts is actually banned by the current packaging guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Initscripts

Putting systemd units into a -systemd subpackage is also frowned upon.
