Subject: mythtv-status: motd functionality not working correctly

Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2018 16:27:57 +0100

Package: mythtv-status
Version: 0.10.8-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I just installed this package and the motd updating functionality is not
working. I can see that it is correctly populating /var/run/motd.dynamic but
that is not being incorporated into the actual motd (wherever that is/however
that happens).

In a mail to mythtv-user[0] another user noticed that apparently it is now
necessary (on Ubuntu) to create a snippet in /etc/update-motd.d. I've not tried
this on my Debian system yet, but I note that the directory does exist.

The patch there is ok as a local workaround, I think, but maybe not appropriate
for the package, I'd guess either creating /var/run/mythtv-status.motd and
having a snippet produce that or just having a snippet produce the desired
content on the fly would be better.

Thanks,
Ian.

Perhaps something like this which just came in is helpful:

Hey,

Thanks Ian. Funnily enough, back when I first wrote mythtv-status I had
it generated the motd file on the fly in /etc/update-motd.d, but that
slowed logging in far too much. I'm still wary about doing that as
we're putting in a dependency on the performance of a potentially
remote machine, which might be off.

I think I'll go down the path of generating /var/run/mythtv-status.motd 
(or similar) and then having a snippet cat that file.

Cheers,
Andrew
