Package: pdnsd
Severity: wishlist
Please add the hook script /usr/lib/resolvconf/dpkg-event.d/pdnsd.
The purpose this script is to cause pdnsd to take notice of the
installation (or removal) of the resolvconf package. If resolvconf
has been installed, for example, then pdnsd should register its
IP address with resolvconf.
See below for an except from resolvconf's README file giving
general information about resolvconf dpkg-event hook scripts.
For pdnsd the following script should suffice.
#!/bin/sh
# Resolvconf dpkg-event hook script for the pdnsd package
case "$1" in
install) invoke-rc.d pdnsd restart ;;
esac
=== Excerpt from resolvconf 1.55 README file ===
Usage information for maintainers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[...] [A]ll suppliers of nameserver information
[should] supply their information to resolvconf after
resolvconf has been installed.
As of resolvconf release 1.55 this is supported via the following mechanism.
Any package, foo, that supports supplying information to resolvconf should
include a hook script /usr/lib/resolvconf/dpkg-event.d/foo which, when called
with the argument "install", takes whatever actions are necessary to cause the
program(s) in foo to supply their nameserver information to resolvconf; and
when called with the argument "remove" takes whatever actions are appropriate
given that the resolvconf package has been removed (and, in being removed, may
have removed foo's nameserver information).
The hook script thus has the following form.
#!/bin/sh
#
# /usr/lib/resolvconf/dpkg-event.d/foo
#
# The resolvconf dpkg-event hook script for the foo package
#
if foo_is_running ; then
if [ "$1" = "install" ] ; then
foo-ctrl send-nameserver-info-to-resolvconf
elif [ "$1" = "remove" ] ; then
...
fi
fi
If foo is controlled by an initscript whose methods take appropriate actions
conditional upon resolvconf's presence then something like the following might
be appropriate.
case "$1" in
install|remove) invoke-rc.d foo force-reload ;;
esac
The hook script is called (with argument "install") from resolvconf's postinst
"configure" method and (with "remove") from resolvconf's postrm "remove"
method.
Foo's hook script is called with argument "install" if and only if foo is
fully installed both when resolvconf's preinst install runs and when its
postinst configure runs. The hook script is called with argument "remove" if
and only if foo is fully installed when resolvconf's postrm remove runs.
The hook script must be owned by root and have its execute permission bit set
and must have the same name as the package that owns it.
Arguments other than "install" and "remove" are reserved for future use and
must be silently ignored.
