Init script missing

For various reasons they have not been included however the website has guides for the old init and new upstart scripts:

http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript/

"For various reasons," eh? ;-)

Thanks, I already created my own init script. I guess I was just surprised that I needed to do that, and I'm even more surprised that I was the first person to report this as a bug.

We will be syncing the init script used by Debian once the archive opens
for the Q series. They didn't add it until well after Ubuntu's feature
freeze.

I tried including the Debian init script in the PPA but the package install scripts had issues so I removed it.

As upstart scripts are now standard for Ubuntu it would be better to include those.

@Cas

Do you recall the specific issues with install scripts? Just giving the Debian ones a quick re-look, I imagine using something pretty much identical even if installing an Upstart job rather than a traditional init script.

This was the error being reported by users:

Setting up deluged (1.3.5-0~lucid~ppa1) ...
dpkg-statoverrides: An override for '/var/log/deluged' already exists, aborting.
dpkg: error processing deluged (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 deluged
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Thanks Cas!

I reported this and provided a patch to Cristian in Debian.

It's true that Upstart jobs are now standard for Ubuntu, but Upstart can also make use of traditional init scripts. I'm leaning towards just using the Debian init script. My concern is that I don't personally run Deluge like this, so maintaining a long term delta from Debian for something that I won't be dogfooding doesn't seem appealing.

This bug was fixed in the package deluge - 1.3.5-1ubuntu1
