Bug 39839 – net-analyzer/nagios-plugins not very configurable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Boman (RETIRED) 2004-01-29 21:13:00 UTC]

I have created a updated ebuild for nagios-plugin that make is more configurable on what you want to install. However, the USE flags are used more in terms of deciding what plugins should be installed then actual dependencies of the underlaying binaries.

example: by default the plugin is installing "check_sensors", a plugin script that check lm_sensor status, but without actually depending on lm_sensor package. The reason why it is done in such was is because the alternatives are (from my point of view):

a) Create a lots of local USE flags
b) Install _a lot_ of dependencies and make it even less configurable.

See attachment for proposed ebuild.
