Install errors on RPi running Raspbian buster

[sjthespian]

I get a handful of errors when I attempt to install the purple-proxy:

cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/logwatch/conf/services/': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/': No such file or directory
Failed to enable unit: File /etc/init.d/purple-proxy: Invalid argument
./install: 70: ./install: /etc/init.d/purple-proxy: Permission denied

The first three are because I don't use logwatch, the script should check for the existence of the directory.

The last two lines appear to be because it doesn't set execute permission on the script and because you are calling systemctl with the full script path instead of just the name.

I also found that it wouldn't start, as execute permission is missing off of the wrapper.

Thanks.

I assume you want to use this with my weewx-purple extension to weewx. I do say there that the install is crude. I should probably add some disclaimers on the repository itself.

I’ll try to clean things up; but I am swamped presently and won’t get to this for a week or two.

No rush, it's up and running for me. I used the above patch to get a clean install, then cloned it and hand edited it for my 2nd purple air (indoor model).

Just an FYI, the purple-proxy link in the weewx-purple plugin README.md doesn't link to this repo, it's pointing to weewx-purple.

Thanks.

BTW, I have an indoor also. With the fires at present in the SF Bay Area, the indoor and outdoor have been invaluable to decide when to close up and turn on the fans with filters.
