Count me in for help. If the packages need some updates that don't involve a bunch of dependencies, it should be relatively easy.

However, it's been a while since I used nagios heavily in a production environment. I'd be willing to get the packages updated if someone who uses nagios can help me test.

Would it be possible for me to get commit ACL's on these? I didn't check to see if they were orphaned.

Hello All,

So I have several tickets which it seems the maintainers have not interest in maintaining anymore related to nagios and nagios plugins:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1121500

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1121499

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1098549

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1098548

I’ve got no response from the existing people so I went searching for people.  I reached out to the Nagios folks and Scott Wilkerson, Nagios Product Development Manager, is interested in getting someone on their team on board to help maintain the Fedora/CentOS packages.

Any recommendations on how best to get them up to speed.  As I am not well versed on the package maintainer system I could use some help/guidance in getting them up and running smoothly/quickly.

Thanks
David


Well, they need updates, but what they really need is a long term maintaner.  Given that the Nagios company wants to get one of their own employees on it to maintain, I think we should get them on the packages.  If your familiar with the package processes and the administration of it, I could use your help getting there person in place and up to speed.

Thanks,
David
