Created attachment 384846 [details] nagios-core-4.0.8.ebuild This is the ebuild I've been using at work. We don't use the web interface, so please test if you can.
Created attachment 384848 [details] nagios-4.0.8.ebuild And the meta ebuild. If you're feeling adventurous, I have an updated nagios-plugins ebuild at bug #522946.
Without install-html, it doesn't build with USE="apache2 web" (see the build log). Without install-cgis, the cgis are missing: Not Found The requested URL /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi was not found on this server. --- nagios-core-4.0.8.ebuild 2014-09-17 06:07:46.420206098 +0000 +++ nagios-core-4.0.8-r1.ebuild 2014-09-17 06:26:45.458765256 +0000 @@ -83,6 +83,8 @@ emake DESTDIR="${D}" install-commandmode if use web; then + emake DESTDIR="${D}" install-cgis + emake DESTDIR="${D}" install-html emake DESTDIR="${D}" install-classicui fi
Created attachment 384900 [details] nagios-4.0.8.build.log The build.log of nagios 4.0.8 by Michael when USE="apache2 web"
Created attachment 385188 [details] nagios-core-4.0.8.ebuild Thanks, I've patched the nagios-core ebuild. It should build with USE=web now.
Created attachment 388492 [details] nagios-core-4.0.8.ebuild Updated ebuild with a fix for bug #401237.
I've tested your latest ebuild on our environment with 100+ hosts and 4000 services, it works fine. After merging there is a notice: * QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/doc/nagios-core-4.0.8-r3/README points to /usr/share/doc/nagios-core-4.0.8-r3/README.asciidoc which does not exist. net-analyzer/nagios-core-4.0.8-r3 was built with the following: USE="apache2 web -lighttpd -perl -vim-syntax" ABI_X86="64"
Created attachment 388614 [details] nagios-core-4.0.8.ebuild Thanks for testing. I've fixed that QA issue (upstream ships a symlink...) and a few others. There's a patch and a new init script now too.
Created attachment 388616 [details] metadata.xml for nagios-core Oh, right. And I made the classic UI optional (USE=classicui) but defaulted to the new "exfoliation" theme.
Created attachment 388618 [details] files/nagios4 New init script.
Created attachment 388620 [details, diff] files/use-MAKE-instead-of-bare-make.patch Patch to fix another QA issue.
Thanks for the improved version, seems to work just fine.
How big of an issue would it be if I required apache-2.4.x for the nagios-4.x series? Right now we're shipping an apache-2.2.x config with nagios-3.x, but it's not compatible with apache-2.4. There are a couple solutions: 1. Put both apache-2.2 and 2.4 configs in the conf file we ship with nagios, and comment one out. 2. Keep shipping the 2.2 config, and require mod_access_compat with apache-2.4 3. Ship only a 2.4 config, and require apache-2.4 from now on Option #1 leaves things up to the user, but doesn't work "out of the box." Option #2 I don't like much because nagios doesn't really require mod_access_compat, it only does if you want to use a 2.2.x config. Option #3 works out-of-the-box, with the caveat that you don't get a box at all if you don't use the newer apache. Eventually apache-2.4 will go stable, and the point will be moot, which is why it might not be so bad to do this now.
I would vote for option 3. Version 2.4 has been out since 2012 and checking the stable tracker, I think the stabilization could be done pretty quickly. For most of the bugs, it's enough to change the default shipped configuration and adjust to Apache 2.4.
Created attachment 389174 [details] nagios-core-4.0.8.ebuild Ok, one more round. This adds a build dep on apache >= 2.4 (so that I can fix the permissions at install time). It also restricts you to only one of USE=apache2 or USE=lighttpd, since /etc/nagios can't have two groups at once. I also fixed the double pkg_postinst() that was hiding the elog messages.
Created attachment 389176 [details, diff] files/use-INSTALL-to-install-themes.patch
Created attachment 389178 [details] 99_nagios4.conf
Created attachment 389180 [details] lighttpd_nagios4.conf Sorry the attachments are getting out of control. I think I'm finally done.
Thanks Michael for your work on this, tested and works ok (a current amd64 system with web via apache 2.4).
Great, thanks for testing. I have permission to commit this and the new -plugins ebuild, probably some time later today.
