I gave a try to create the ebuild which I will attach. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 263619 [details] nagios-check_multi-0.24.ebuild
Just the one comment on the ebuild: it looks like USE=nrpe is only used to pull in another package, which is commonly discouraged for two reasons: 1) The user could emerge the other package quite well without the help of a USE flag in another package. 2) Having figured out there is such a USE flag, the user might assume the package needs to be configured with the other package's support (which it isn't) and enable the USE flag, thereby needlessly reemerging the package.
The reason I specifically put the NRPE use flag and pull in the net-analyzer/nagios-nrpe version 2.12-r103 is that this version has a required patch to work with check_multi. see: http://my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/installation and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264467 I thought it would be help, but I am open to suggestions?
This is now in the sunrise overlay. You can find it at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/browser/reviewed/net-analyzer/nagios-check_multi
Hello, everyone. It seems that at least one ebuild related to this bug exists in the Sunrise overlay at the moment. However, I have to regretfully announce that after a long inactivity period the Sunrise project has been discontinued and the related overlay will be eventually removed. For this reason, I'd like to ask you to reevaluate the ebuilds and consider moving them. If you'd like to maintain a package from Sunrise in Gentoo, please take a look at our Proxy Maintainers [1] project. Please make sure to take ebuilds from the unreviewed developer Sunrise repository [2] rather than the -reviewed one, since the latter has not been updated for over a year. While at it, please note that: 1. Adding a package to Gentoo requires declaring yourself as an active maintainer for it. All bugs regarding the package will be assigned to you, and you will be expected to maintain it. 2. Some packages may not be suitable for addition anymore. While there's no strong rules that would prevent you from adding a package, it may be a bad idea to add old-unmaintained packages that will shortly result in a large number of bugs reported with no solution. If that is the case, please close the bug as RESOLVED/OBSOLETE to make it easier to find packages worth adding. 3. Some of the bugs were already closed as WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/... while the relevant ebuild was kept in Sunrise. If you disagree with the original decision, you still can add the ebuild via proxy-maint. 4. Pleaes note that many of the Sunrise ebuilds are old and may be buggy. If you decide to move them, please make sure to update/clean them up. The proxy-maint team will also review your ebuilds, therefore making sure they land in Gentoo in good quality. Once again, thank you for your contribution. We hope that you will still want to contribute to Gentoo, through proxy-maint or otherwise.
