[gentoo-dev] nagois (netsaint) ebuild.

[Terje Kvernes]

I'm almost done with this, but a few things crept up on me.  the
  main problem is that I don't have (and won't anytime soon) have
  either MySQL or Postgresql around to test the database interface.
  if anyone is willing to make the ebuild work with databases, I'd be
  very happy.  ;-)

  secondly, how do we do this in the ebuild?  nagios accepts quite a
  few flags telling it to use a database backend, but I _think_ it
  detects the database automatically if it's there.  if not, should
  the ebuild itself check for the installation of either database by
  looking for the executable, or some such ickyness?  we don't have an
  appropriate USE flag, do we?

  and I've currently stolen UID and GID 91 for nagios to use.  any
  pointers on how to formally go about allocating system UIDs is
  greatly appreciated.

  oh, and I also wonder if I should set the nagios web- and cgi-path
  to something under /var/www or just let the user fix that.  there is
  enough setup to be done anyway, and creating and fixing the
  appropriate directories (and hopefully adding some access control)
  might as well be left to the user...  or?
