Description Chris Cormack 2011-11-16 23:04:23 UTC
I want to shift it to etc/ where it should rightfully live

Comment 2 laurenthdl 2011-11-17 08:17:50 UTC
Hi,
would it not be more interesting to have different directories in etc :
as discussed here http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2010-November/034735.html
etc/services/SIP2/
And not directly in etc/
same for bin/
Comment 3 Chris Cormack 2011-11-21 00:44:50 UTC
Yep, the packages do that on install, the Makefile.PL could do the same thing.

The main thing is to first get them out of C4/ so that you don't bust your SIP server whenever you upgrade. But if you wanted to do a patch to move them into other dirs I certainly wouldn't object.
Comment 4 Colin Campbell 2011-11-21 12:11:11 UTC
sip_run.sh still looks for the config file in the old location.
Comment 5 Ian Walls 2011-11-21 14:14:07 UTC
My strategy has always been to duplicate the SIPconfig.xml to a separate file, customize, then run SIP off that.  Saves merge conflicts.  But, yes, having this removed completely from C4/SIP is necessary.  Getting these files to respect our Make options is vital; perhaps even adding a "do you want to set up SIP2 services?" set of questions to the installer would be good.

Comment 8 Paul Poulain 2012-02-02 17:24:21 UTC
QA question:
Am I right if I say it changes the signature of sip_run ?
before the patch: you could run without any arg, the SIPconfig.xml was taken from C4/Sip, but you could also pass a parameter with the config file
after the patch: you must provide a parameter

if i'm right, this patch is an ENH, and will be for 3.8 to avoid any regression for existing users during maintenante update.

Otherwise, passed QA, but i'm waiting for the answer to push
Comment 9 Liz Rea 2012-02-03 00:04:16 UTC
Paul: that is correct. My opinion is that it can wait for 3.8.

Bug 7238 - make packages deal with SIP config

This moves the SIP config to the templates directory (on package
building) in anticipation of making it configurable with package tools.
Prevents it being installed into /etc.

Comment 14 Paul Poulain 2012-02-15 16:24:43 UTC
Nothing looks wrong to me on this follow-up. Will push it, however, I haven't tested it myself, trusting Robin & Jared, they're much more aware than I'm for this kind of packaging
Comment 15 Jared Camins-Esakov 2012-12-31 00:37:33 UTC
There have been no further reports of problems so I am marking this bug resolved.
