Problem: we currently use /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ as base directory for all plugins. Going with the more universal "monitoring-plugins" approach, this should be reflected in the directory structure of the new package:
The way RPM updates are applied (first installing the new package content, afterward removing the old content that's left), prevents us from simply replacing the /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ directory with a simple symlink for the moment. If we want to go that way (providing a symlink from /usr/lib/monitoring-plugins or /usr/lib/monitoring/plugins to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins), we need to have some "magic" at hand (like a %pre script that moves the files around and/or patches all(!) configuration files). In most cases, the rename of the package is not a big deal, but the move to a new directory for the plugins will produce a lot of problematic situations: * configurations of nagios, shinken, icinga define a $USER1$ variable * configuration of nrpe => each command/included file can have the path configured * other configs from 3rd party might also be affected * a customer may have additional files in the directory, that need to be migrated to a new directory, too (including the confusion of the customer if this is done "automatically") -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
