[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#497103: gridengine-client: foo

[Peter Cordes]

Package: gridengine-client
Version: 6.2-1pjc1
Severity: normal


Subject: gridengine-client: qstat man page lists wrong config file locations
Package: gridengine-client
Version: 6.2-1pjc1
Severity: normal

 I'm running gridengine 6.2-1 (with the chmod/chown bug fixed, hence
pjc1) on an Ubuntu Hardy AMD64 cluster.  I built my packages from the
Debian sources, though, since Ubuntu Intrepid's src packages are from
an older upstream.

 The FILES section at the end of qstat(1) says the config files are
~/.ge_qstat and <ge_root>/<cell>/common/ge_qstat.  This is wrong.  The
binary actually searches /var/lib/gridengine/default/common/sge_qstat and
$HOME/.sge_qstat, as documented in the DESCRIPTION section.  (I
checked with strace.)  The man page actually gives the path in terms
of $GE_ROOT/$GE_CELL, but /usr/bin/qstat only sets $SGE_ROOT and
$SGE_CELL, so that needs fixing, too.

 sge_qstat(5) has to correct paths, but it does say <ge_root>/<cell>,
not <sge_root>.

 Thanks for packaging GE; it's a lot easier to understand how the
pieces fit together with this than looking at an N1GE install on
Solaris...
