1 Hello,
2
3 Jffnms is a very cool network management package, albeit a little
4 complex to install and configure. Thanks to 'angusyoung' installation
5 is now a breeze. I thought I'd post what I did to get it to
6 install, in explicit form, in case anyone else wanted to check out this
7 excellent 'network management system'.

9 I've been reading and working on installing jffnms, an experimental new
10 package not yet in the portage tree. Here are the documents I have
11 been using as a guide for this installation:

13 Ebuilds#ebuild:_A_Safer_Approach
14 http://gentoo-wiki.com/Portage_Overlay_Listing#Gentoo_PHP_Overlay
15 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92501

17 Here's what I did in a synopsis:
18 vi /etc/make.conf:
19 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
20 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/"
21
22 vi /etc/portage/package.keywords
23 net-analyzer/jffnms ~x86
24
25 vi /etc/portage/package.use
26 net-analyzer/jffnms snmp
27
28 vi /etc/portage/package.unmask
29 # >=net-analyzer/jffnms-0.8.2
30
31 mkdir /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms
32 cd /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms
33 copy latest ebuild from buzilla (92501) to file named:
34 jffnms-0.8.2.ebuild
35
36 ebuild jffnms-0.8.2.ebuild digest <create Manifest and the files dir>
37 emerge jffnms
38 ....
39
40
41 now it's installed:
42 net-analyzer/jffnms
43 Latest version available: 0.8.2
44 Latest version installed: 0.8.2
45 Size of downloaded files: 544 kB
46
47 Questions:
48
49 Did I miss anything? Is anything in the above synopsis incorrect
50 or not necessary?
51
52 Anyone else want to try installing jffnms so as to test it on
53 Gentoo?
54
55 On to configuring this beast!
