[Pkg-graphite-maint] Bug#849080: graphite-web: race condition in /usr/bin/graphite-build-search-index

[Michael Abmayer]

Package: graphite-web
Version: 0.9.15+debian-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Jonas,

I had a race condition when search_index is build. In the last to steps of the script the temp-file is moved, and afterwards ownership is changed. This triggered the race condition, when my Grafana-Server did its minutely alert checking. The condition occurred about twice a day. I changed the order of the last two commands, which solved the problem for me.
