Monitorix version 3.6.0 was released 20-Aug-2014 This is a "version bump" request.
I updated the $Header line of the the monitorix 3.5.1 ebuild file for monitorix to reflect 3.6.0 Then I stepped through the follwoing ebuild steps 1 at a time to a "qmerge". That would be: manifest, setup, fetch, unpack, prepare, configure, compile, test, install, qmerge No steps caused errors. There is probably a better, more thorough way to test a new ebuild, but I am very new at this. The resulting /etc/monitorix/monitorix.conf file needs to be merged with changes from monitorix 3.6.0. So a "dispatch-conf" step is necessary. Finally, I let monitorix 3.6.0 run for 24 hours on a test system. No errors. I am able to verify the added "processes" feature & graphs work. That feature is new in monitorix 3.6.0 per the ChangeLog at www.monitorix.org
One more note. I copied /usr/portage/www-misc/monitorix/files/monitorix-3.5.1.init to /usr/portage/www-misc/monitorix/files/monitorix-3.6.0.init I saw no reasons to make any changes here. Again, there might be a better and more appropriate way to do this and to test it, but the steps I documented here do work for me on a x86-64 AMD-based "test" system running an x86-64 kernel of gentoo-sources 3.17.8-r1
are you willing to proxy maintain this package: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers Thanks
Jeff's comments about this being a simple bump also apply to v3.8.1. Just renaming the ebuild from monitorix-3.5.1.ebuild to monitorix-3.8.1.ebuild (and renaming the init file) allowed it to build fine. The result is just a *bunch* of lines to merge in the config file... but I've had the daemon running for a couple days and haven't seen any issues. v3.5.1 is *ancient*, and it would be nice to have that marked stable and v3.8.1 entered as ~amd64, etc...
Created attachment 430484 [details, diff] Bump to version 3.8.1 This is the diff patch to bump the current ebuild to version 3.8.1 (latest as today)
Created attachment 430486 [details] Version 3.6.0 ebuild This is the standalone ebuild for 3.6.0
Created attachment 430488 [details] Version 3.8.1 ebuild This is the standalone version 3.8.1 ebuild
I've updated the bug with the ebuilds for 3.6.0 and 3.8.1, the main changes are as follow: - Rename files/monitorix-3.5.1.init to files/monitorix.init: It seems the same file works with 3.5.1, 3.6.0 and 3.8.1 - Update SRC_URI: It now points to the GitHub repo - Added S variable to the ebuild: The GitHub zip/tar.gz file unpacks it in a folder where the first capital letter is uppercase, breaking the default value. - Added graph USE flag for net-analyzer/rrdtool: Without it, it won't generate any graph. - Removed the symbolic link in /var/lib/monitorix/www/imgs -> /var/lib/monitorix/imgs - Added 777 permissions to /var/lib/monitorix/www/imgs I'm going to keep the service running a couple of days in my box to see if I found any issue, but right now it seems to be working without problems.
