Subject: [gentoo-user] Protecting init.d files from auto-update
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 11:28:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2207251.irdbgypaU6@cube> (raw)
Greetings,
How can I prevent portage from auto-updating /etc/init.d/boinc?
I run BOINC on my machines, and /etc/init.d/boinc includes far too long a
timeout on start-stop-daemon when stopping the program. The minimum time it
will wait is 60s, which is a long time when you're waiting. On this machine I
set 4, 2 and 1 seconds because I run only one BOINC project, to keep the heat
down. My big machine runs 18 projects or more, and even there 60 seconds is
way over the top (I can see the project's activity in gkrellm).
Anyway, what matter if a project is terminated abruptly and has to be
restarted? It wouldn't be the end of the world.
I've tried adding the file to CONFIG_PROTECT in make.conf, to no avail. Any
other ideas before I submit a bug report against sci-misc/boinc?

Peter.
