fr24feed 1.0.46-1 problems and questions

[MrMac]

First install of this version, some annoying problems.

Maybe something for Khan to have a look at.


1. It drops a lot of unused crap in the directories. I do NOT want to have service files and log files for parts that are not used.

If we don't enable UAT, the / etc / systemd / system / fr24uat-feed.service should be deleted or never created. It also screws up tab-completion when using systemctl commands.

It creates / var / log / fr24feed_install_dump1090.log , even if dump is not used, installed, or asked for.

It tries to run / usr / lib / fr24 / create_missing_directories.sh, but that fails, unclear why. /var and /run are RAM-disks, but we have been using the same setup since 2015 and never had problems with this before.



2. It no longer creates a logfile at / var / log / fr24feed

The entries
logmode= 1
logpath= / var / log / fr24feed

are no longer inserted into / etc / fr24feed.ini as default. But I think this happened some versions ago?

Is the log file at another location? Or missing, related to problem above?


The paths are correct, but some annoying anti-exploit filter is preventing the posting of proper / paths...

Yes, log is missing (or at some obscure location).

I see log like this:
