https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1020292 --- Comment #11 from Warren Togami <wtogami@xxxxxxxxx> --- Currently bitcoind is not well suited to operate as a system service. The user's bitcoind as a RPC client could hypothetically operate to control the system bitcoind, but that isn't true of the user's bitcoin-qt. This makes operating bitcoind as a system service confusingly disjunct from the user's bitcoind and bitcoin-qt. The user's bitcoind and bitcoin-qt are meant to operate on the same data files and wallet while a system bitcoind. bitcoin 0.9 is planned to have key improvements that make it more suitable to use as system service. Perhaps bitcoin 0.8 as packaged should ... * Include a README.FEDORA in %doc explaining the current state of the package, how it is meant to be used. * The entire selinux policy design should be thought through carefully to be able to handle the future expected uses of bitcoin. * To handle today's normal use, the selinux policies should confine and permit usage of the standard ~/.bitcoin directory in homedirs. * Perhaps the selinux policy should additionally handle the system service directories, even though it isn't commonly used yet. Would that within the same policy weaken protection of the system service? * For now do not include the .service file. That would misleadingly suggest that running it as a system service is the normal method of operation. Wait until changes come in 0.9 then reassess the situation. * Put the .service file in installed examples documented by README.FEDORA so people know how to use the unsupported method of operation for now if they really want it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
