found 692295 1.2.0-1
retitle 692295 Uses SIGHUP instead of SIGTERM for graceful shutdown
tags 692295 + patch
tags 692295 + upstream
severity 692295 serious
kthxbye

After a bit of discussion with various parties and thinking a lot about 
the issue, I came to the conclusion that using SIGHUP for graceful 
shutdown is not acceptable. I tested that using SIGTERM also triggers a 
graceful shutdown (well, it has to, because simpler init systems, like on 
many BSD flavours, simply sends SIGTERM to all processes upon shutdown 
...) and patched the wrapper script accordingly.

Attached is a trivial patch that repaces SIGHUP with SIGTERM and it solves 
the problem. This should be reported upstream and discussed with the 
developers.

However, I think the patch should be applied in Debian, probably by 
sponsoring the NMU published at 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/couchdb/couchdb_1.2.0-2.1.dsc 
.

Cheers,
Nik
