Hello Everyone,

Does anyone have any experience building Ultramonley 3 on Gentoo. I
downloaded ultramonkey 3 from here "
http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/3/source/ultramonkey-3-1um.1.tar.gz". It
is in the source folder but Is see no source. I understand how this could be
an ultramonkey question just trying my luck on the gentoo forum first.

Regards,
Ninus

	I think the issue is that Ultramonkey hasn't updated any software since 
2005. And what their calling source looks like a skeleton config for a 
meta package that'll work only in Debian.

Considering that it hasn't been updated in 4 years, I'd check out other
venues as opposed to Ultramonkey.

Looks to me like Ultramonkey is just some documentation, and as kashani said, 
some skeleton configs for Debian. I do not see any actual "ultramonkey 
software" or even "special sauce".
Quite useful documentation though.

I do load balancing on Gentoo to Gentoo, pretty much all I needed to get it 
going was to install heartbeat with USE=ldirectord, compile the appropriate 
kernel modules, then setup ldirectord.
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Documents.html#manuals is particularly 
helpful, if a bit out of date. Especially the LVS/* pages.

The best explanation I found was this thread
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.highavailability.ultramonkey/1353

And looking into some of the patches Ultramonkey built, they are based 
on some much older tools like heartbeat 1.2.4 where as 2.0.7 is current 
in Gentoo. I'd guess most of the usefulness of Ultramonkey was rolled 
into the actual packages doing the dirty work... probably so they could 
retire the stupid stupid name. :-)
