Loggerhead Init Script for Gentoo

I just set up a Bazaar repository server at work. Gentoo has no official ebuild for Loggerhead, so I installed it from Mark Lee's Bazaar overlay. Unfortunately, this does not ship with an init script for serve-branches, so I wrote one.

The script is /etc/init.d/loggerhead (mode 755):

#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2009 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

PIDFILE=/var/run/loggerhead.pid
LOGDIR=/var/log/loggerhead

depend() {
    need net
}

start() {
    ebegin "Starting loggerhead"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \
        --make-pidfile --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
        --exec /usr/bin/serve-branches -- --log-folder=${LOGDIR} \
        ${LOGGERHEAD_OPTS}
    eend $?
}                               
                                
stop() {                        
    ebegin "Stopping loggerhead"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet \
        --pidfile ${PIDFILE}
    eend $?                 
}

This uses a single entry from /etc/conf.d/loggerhead:

LOGGERHEAD_OPTS="/var/bzr"

It seems to work. When I get the chance I may patch the ebuild to include it and suggest it to the maintainer.
