Description Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2016-02-08 14:10:07 CET
The file /var/lib/univention-ldap/listener/listener is written on member servers and DC slaves. As far as I can see. the file is only needed on a DC master or on other systems which have the notifier installed:

Comment 3 Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2016-07-13 15:10:33 CEST
One result is, that the listener doesn't stop anymore on a DC slave if a failed.ldif exists. Previously, the following message was written:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18.11.15 20:40:34.647  LISTENER    ( ERROR   ) : Could not write to transaction file /var/lib/univention-ldap/listener/listener. Check for /var/lib/univention-directory-replication/failed.ldif

18.11.15 20:41:36.113  LISTENER    ( ERROR   ) : listener: -1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think we should stop the replication if a failed.ldif exists.
Comment 4 Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2016-07-13 17:17:51 CEST
In case of a failed.ldif I get this log output:

After reading the logs, I have no idea that a failed.ldif has been generated.
Comment 5 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2016-07-13 18:27:42 CEST
Ok, to recap, the following two points should be implemented:

1. stop the replication if a failed.ldif exists
2. output a corresponding log message

So what? It C-code, which doesn't care about and re.indenting makes the patch less readable. But if you persist, I can add a patch on top to fix the white space.

See our discussion in Bug #32475 comment 3: change_update_dn() returns values which look like LDAP values, but more often are not related to actual LDAP Problems at all. Calling ldap_err2str() on those values is more confusing than helping (IMHO)
Comment 9 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2016-07-18 19:40:49 CEST
Ok, whatever, I'm not into whitespace issues anyway, I just don't get the logic:
The usual argument is that code is more often read than written.

According to your argument it's pointless to trim trailing whitespace either, isn't it? Which is fine with me.

Maybe we can keep the tone at a professional level though: As QA I just pointed out a deficit, according to your usual standards, and I don't expect to be scolded for that. I happen to understand that it is C-Code and I happen to understand that the C-Compiler doesn't care, just as I don't. And I think you know that. You could e.g. just say: "Yeah, I think that's ok, if you don't insist."


Code review: Ok
Functional test: Ok
Advisory: Ok
