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'. |

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: |

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 |

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! |
