Hello,
Due to the changes in rc.subr introduced by r328331[1] some of the
database services are broken on FreeBSD 12-CURRENT.
Before r328331 some database services defined a bool variable
`${name}_limits`. When it was set to YES it triggered limits(1) to run
before a daemon was started.
Revision 328331 introduced a standard mechanism to do it. As a result
daemon maintainers/developers no longer have to roll out their own
solutions. The problem is that the semantics of the new common
mechanism is not compatible with many service files. `${name}_limits`
used to be a bool variable whereas now it is a string of extra flags to
be passed to limits(1).
The following command reveals a list of potenially affected ports:
$ cd /usr/ports
$ find . -mindepth 4 -maxdepth 4 -type f ! -name '*patch*' \
-exec grep -l _limits {} \+ | \
awk -v FS=/ -v OFS=/ '{print $2,$3}' - | sort | uniq
databases/arangodb32
databases/arangodb33
databases/clickhouse
databases/mariadb100-server
databases/mariadb101-server
databases/mariadb102-server
databases/mariadb55-server
databases/mongodb
databases/mongodb32
databases/mongodb34
databases/mongodb34-rocks
databases/mongodb36
databases/mysql55-server
databases/mysql56-server
databases/mysql57-server
databases/mysql80-server
databases/mysqlwsrep56-server
databases/mysqlwsrep57-server
databases/percona55-server
databases/percona56-server
databases/percona57-server
I confirm that the problem exists in all those ports.
The ports maintainers received a BCC of this message.
Initially, I thought that this bug is related only to the
databases/mongodb36 port but it turned out that it is a bigger issue.
The issue on Bugzilla for monogodb36 is here[2].
FWIW, I've submitted an update to the rc.subr manual to improve the
documentation of that new ${name}_limits variable.[3]
