Well, AFAICT, git-daemon-run can also be run either as a standalone service from an /etc/init.d script or as an inetd/xinetd service. >> I set the severity to important, because this bug leaves the package >> in an unconfigured state inside a vserver context.

It is actually the "kill -HUP 1" in the postinst of git-daemon-run which is at fault. >> useless inside a vserver context, so nobody would install such a >> software.

As a matter of fact, I did not know runit before I setup my git server and I was quite surprised that the git-daemon-run official Debian package would not be setup to run either as standalone or as an inetd/xinetd service. Maybe would it be possible to switch it to a standalone server? I can provide you a patch and a debconf question to do that, i.e. either the actual behaviour with runit or a standalone server. Please tell me your thoughts about it. :] Cheers, -- .''`. Aurélien GÉRÔME : :' : `. `'` Free Software Developer `- Unix Sys & Net Admin
