I downloaded the source package as written on ​https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/pxeconfig/wiki/PxeInstallation and created the Debian package. I installed the package on Ubuntu lucid.

The entry in /etc/services created by the postinst script was wrong:

-e pxeconfigd 6611/tcp # pxe config daemon

This problem results from variations of the echo commands integrated in different shells.

One option to work around this problem is to call some echo commands and check the output to determine the correct syntax. (Done by Autoconf configure scripts.)

I fixed the problem by calling /bin/echo instead of echo. See attached patch.

I downloaded the source package as written on ​https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/pxeconfig/wiki/PxeInstallation and created the Debian package. I installed the package on Ubuntu lucid without inetd or xinetd installed.

The package installation failed in the postinst script because of missing dependencies. The Debian package should include the dependency inetd | xinetd.

Building the Debian package fails with some error messages when cdbs is not installed:

debian/rules:8: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/buildcore.mk: No such file or directory

debian/rules:9: /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk: No such file or directory

debian/rules:10: /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk: No such file or directory

debian/rules:11: /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk: No such file or directory

make: * Keine Regel, um »/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk« zu erstellen. Schluss.

I tried to add cdbs to Build-Depends but it does not help. There should be a check for cdbs in the build process if possible. At least the installation documentation should inform the user that cdbs is needed to build the package.

I think cdbs is not an installation dependency, that's why I removed it from Depends. See attached patch.

When using the pxeconfig.xinetd file, an error occurs when telnetting to the daemon.

Desc. : This script is used to control how a node is booted with PXE
        enabled network cards. The node boots and fetch a pxe
        config file which tells how the node must boot. This daemon
        enables a client to remove his/here pxe config file. With the
	next boot it will use the default one.

	command line option:
	  -V/--version 
	    Prints the version number and exits
          
        Note:
          This server can ONLY be started from inetd.

option -d not recognized

By removing the server_args option in the pxeconfig.xinetd file, the daemon works.
