ddclient 3.8.0: miscellaneous enhancements

Reported by: andreas.wilm@… Owned by: nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)
Priority: Low Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: ddclient

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

Hi there,

just a few minor issues I came across while installing ddclient:

  • A man page is missing. This would ideally contain info about how to use org.macports.ddclient.plist (same as displayed after installation) and OS X specific config options (see below).

The sample config cannot be used as such for two reasons:

  • ssl-support is set to yes in sample config but cannot work if p5-io-socket-ssl is not installed (use as dependency?)
  • Cache file is '/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache' by default (if not set in config). This directory doesn't exist by default. Setting cache explicitly to /tmp/ddclient.cache might be a better choice.

There is no man page available in the distribution, so none are installed.

The README document (and other documentation) is installed in ${prefix}/share/ddclient

I added the SSL dependency creation and the default cache directory in r62136.

I only just installed ddclient today, but it still doesn't seem to have a correctly set default cache directory (it's still trying to use /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache). I've been unable to find what the correct .conf directive is for changing the cache location, does anyone know what it is?

Creating cache dir and forcing use of it in r98798.
