The main problem as far as I can see is that nagios-plugins is a big mess, and it's hard for any one person to test. (We use it at work, but there's no ipv6 there, or ldap, or snmp, or game servers...) I've rewritten the nagios, nagios-core, and nagios-plugins ebuilds, and will eventually ask permission to commit them to ~arch. That will rip the band-aid off, so to speak, after which I can work on addressing the existing bugs. But before I do, I'd like to have a few people test it and tell me it works. So if anyone is using nagios, please give these a try. net-analyzer/nagios and net-analyzer/nagios-core: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485756 nagios-plugins: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522946 If you see any problems, just comment on the bug or email me or whatever. I am actually using these ebuilds, so they won't delete your system32 or anything. If there are bugs they're likely in one of the parts I don't use. I'm also pretty sure that most of the open bugs on b.g.o still apply, but this version at least shouldn't be any worse than the one in the tree.
