[Python-apps-team] Bug#832322: irker: Irker is ignoring startup options defined in /etc/default/irker.

[Sébastien RICCIO]

Package: irker
Version: 2.18+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When starting irker on debian unstable, it simply ignores IRKER_OPTIONS that are set in /etc/default/irker.

For example IRKER_OPTIONS="-H 10.111.10.2"

It was supported this way in debian jessie.

Taking a look at /etc/systemd/system/irker.service we can see that at least:

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/irker
ExecStart=/usr/bin/irkerd $IRKER_OPTIONS

are kinda missing, but adding them seems not enough to have the service start with the opitons.

Maybe the way you can specify startup options to irker has changed in debian unstable ?

Thanks!
