Created attachment 163443 [details] Preliminary patch Taskd is a server/daemon and could use a rc.d script to start at boot. After consulting with the maintainer, I have come up with a preliminary patch to add a basic rc.d script, taskd, and it is attached to this PR. Since taskd uses a self-signed X509 certificate authority, it requires significant user configuration. As the rc.d script does not perfectly integrate with upstream's configuration instructions, a pkg-message is provided to instruct the user. KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH PATCH: 1) Does not include modifications to ports/UIDs and ports/GIDs to add taskd user and group. (I couldn't figure out how (new to svn)) 2) portslint had concerns with paths in pkg-message, I don't know what to do. 3) I could not figure out how to improve permissions handling with the unprivileged user (TASKDDATA directory and /var/log/taskd.log). This would be a substantial improvement, but in lieu of it the pkg-message provides instructions to modify the permissions. 4) There is a prexisting problem (CHMOD) that portslint has detected. 5) This is my first ever patch to anything, please review CAREFULLY.
