ok, some updates. in current git branch "dev/core" are some mostly breaking
changes, which should make packing even more easier.

this will hit the 1.7 release then, so if we could work out a mostly package
upstream <=> source upstream spec file until then, it would be great.

* add --with-plugin-dir to configure for setting the plugins path accordingly
https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2344

* add configure option --with-temp-file=<filepath> to set temp_file for
icinga.cfg https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2121

furthermore, the most significant break will be moving the icinga idoutils
idomod.o neb module from $bindir to $libdir by default. this has been suggested
by $every packager but i feared to introduce such a breaking change.

* change default target location of idomod.o from $bindir to $libdir
https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2346

and last but not least, the package install of icinga-idoutils should install
the "idoutils.cfg" containing a module definition by default
(/etc/icinga/modules)

this will allow installs without modifying the icinga.cfg for automatically
loading the event broker module. just like apache handles config integration,
but hereby based on a new object definition.

https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2348
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/objectdefinitions.html#id1345546

and just for once - the "provides: nagios" is required in regard of other
packagers requiring nagios implicitely - if there aren't any, feel free to drop
it.

anyhow. if there are other suggestions or needs for making the package building
cleaner, either contact me directly at michael.friedrich(at)univie.ac.at or
open a new issue on https://dev.icinga.org in the core section.
