[Pkg-matrix-maintainers] Bug#935654: matrix-synapse: /etc/init.d/matrix-synapse stop doesn't work

[devel at sumpfralle.de]

Hello,

the issue can be fixed by:
* Forcing start-stop-daemon to create the PID file.
  Synapse seems to fail to do this, see
  https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9066
* removing the "--exec" match from the "stop" action

Attached you find a patch fixing these issues.
Afterwards matrix-synapse starts and stops successfully.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Lars


PS: additionally the patch contains "mkdir" for the uploads directory. This is
unrelated. Please excuse me for not opening a separate bug report for this
trivial issue. Thanks!
