* Add version 0.5.14 * Add variant to allow setting the localstatedir: See below * Add bzip2 dependency * Add myself to maintainers (I just think, I can care for this package) About localstatedir: munge has a server and a client. They communicate via unix domain sockets. This socket is in PREFIX/var. This package provides the client, the server, and development part (headers, libraries). Let's assume one has the server part installed as a system package. This generally is a good idea, so that the server gets started during boot. This means, that the socket is in the system's /var. If one now wants to use the client part (library!) via spack, one has a problem: spack's munge looks in SPACK-PACKAGE-PREFIX/var for the socket. There needs to be a way to let the spack installed package use the system's socket. So add a variant to override the path during build: localstatedir=/var. |
