Resolved in master.

Okay - comparing the 1.3.3 RPMs init and 1.4.x/master it looks like this is resolved.
Apologies for the spam.
1. Fresh CentOS 6.5 64-bit host.
2. Add Logstash RPM repo.
3. yum install logstash
4. Add configuration
5. Edit /etc/sysconfig/logstash and set start to true.
6. service logstash start
7. Error output.
I see that in https://github.com/elasticsearch/logstash/blob/master/bin/logstash#L28 there is an expectation that HOME and SINCEDB_DIR will be passed in.
I also see in the packaging:
https://github.com/elasticsearch/logstash/blob/master/pkg/logstash.sysv.redhat#L76
That HOME should be set in the init script. It's looking like that isn't being passed through appropriately
