Description Tomáš Mózes 2016-09-26 12:22:27 UTC
https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/master/Changelog

Version 4.2.0 fixes security issues but there is a newer version 4.2.1 that fixes regressions introduced in 4.2.0.
Comment 1 Tomáš Mózes 2016-09-26 12:53:46 UTC
Upstream merged the patches for 4.1.1 and after removing them nagios compiles fine, our instance seems to be running ok.
Comment 2 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2016-09-26 13:28:52 UTC
The fixed version is in the tree. During stabilization, please also get the metapackage =net-analyzer/nagios-4.2.1.

I also updated the ebuild to EAPI=6 and dropped the depend.apache, multilib, and eutils eclasses. I'm fairly sure that depend.apache.eclass was only being used to define $APACHE2_MODULES_CONFDIR (which I inlined), but I would feel better if someone who uses the web interface tests it.

Thanks Michael. Tested with USE="apache2 web" and works ok.
