Reduce postinstalls complexity

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The postinstall is not O.K.

      There is no reason to have fragile sed things such as

      sed -i -e "s: modules/: $currentDir/modules/:g" \
-e "s:/var/www:$currentDir/www:g" \
-e "s:ServerRoot \"/etc/httpd\":ServerRoot \"$currentDir\":" \
-e "s:PidFile.*:PidFile ${currentDir}/run/httpd.pid:" \

      in a new release.

      Anything that is dependent on path has to have placeholders @SOMETHING@ and these placeholders are to be committed in .conf files.

      .postinstall script uses sed (or powershell) to replace @SOMETHING@ with user's paths as necessary.

      Update and simplify .postinstall and .conf / .conf.in scripts and configs accordingly, please.

          causes

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. JBCS-203 postinstall doesn't modify correctly ssl.conf file

          • Blocker - To be worked above all other priorities. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is very high, has no workaround, or the effort for the change is comparatively low. Issues that may be very publicly visible and could generate significant media attention may also drive a higher priority.

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. JBCS-531 Remove hardcoded user "Apache" from .postinstall script

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
