npre 2.8.1_0 init-script refers to non-existant directory

[panisset@…]

On a virgin OS X 10.5.2 Server system which has never seen MacPorts before, I first installed MacPorts-1.6.0-10.5-Leopard.dmg, and then I did:

/opt/local/bin/port install nrpe

to install npre. But the startup script in /opt/local/share/nrpe/init-script refers to a directory which does not exist on my "clean" install:

LockFile=/opt/local/var/run/nrpe.lock

...

start)

touch $LockFile

...

stop)

rm -f $LockFile

I'm guessing that if you have installed other MacPorts subsystems on a machine, at some point /opt/local/var/run got created, but if npre is the first one you install, you run into this problem.

Simple workaround is to create the directory manually.

Oops, make that nrpe 2.8.1_0...

Assigning to maintainer. This is strange, because the directory is explicitly created in npre's destroot phase:

xinstall -d -m 755 ${destroot}${prefix}/var/run

Ah, but of course destroot.keepdirs needs to be specified as well.

I set the lockfile directory to $[prefix}/var/run/nrpe in revision 1 to the port. Please test it.

Just did a new install on a machine that didn't have MacPorts before, /opt/local/var/run now seems to get created correctly.

Thanks for the feedback.
