https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D208416 Bug ID: 208416 Summary: net-p2p/transmission-daemon requires some settings in rc.conf Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: crees@FreeBSD.org Reporter: isaac@waldronis.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(crees@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: crees@FreeBSD.org This port forces you to set some settings through variables in rc.conf beca= use it does not provide a way to unset or disable setting them through the rc variables. For example, a default value is set for the transmission_download_dir variable but there is no way to unset this so that the value in transmission's settings.json file will be honored. To reprodu= ce this behavior: 1. remove any transmission_download_dir setting in /etc/rc.conf 2. stop the transmission service 3. edit transmission's settings.json file and set the download-dir setting = to some non-standard location 4. start the transmission service At this point settings.json will be overwritten with the default value set = in transmission's rc.d script. Replacing step 1 in the above procedure with '= set transmission_download=3D"NO" in rc.conf', as is the common practice for dis= abling settings in rc.conf, results in the download directory being set to the lit= eral "NO." I would prefer that a setting of "NO" translate to the -w flag being left out of transmission_flags so that the value of download-dir in settings.json is retained on starting the daemon. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
