6 jffnms is fabulous. However it has recently
7 been release as version 0.9.x so a few install bugs
8 are out there.
9
10 Portage still shows 8.3.x (way old)
11
12 Craig, the main developer of jffnms is very cool
13 and helpful. It's a smaller and tighter community
14 than the nagios-fork scene.
15
16 I ask some devs a while back to update the package,
17 but it never got updated....(real sad story here).
18
19 Jffnms supports both mysql and postgresql, but with
20 the new (9.0.x) postgresql series and the new
21 jffnms (0.9.x) series I have just been to busy to
22 get them happy on Gentoo.
23
24 Open up a bug about version bumping jffnms
25 and the install doc help me get jffnms in shape
26 for Gentoo?

34 If you want to work on jffnms, drop me some emails
35 as most of the issues were resolved, I just drop
36 the ball with too many other things going on. Beside
37 my "manners" with the devs are not the best, so
38 a fresh face motivated to test/use jffnms would go
39 a long way to easing the relationship with the devs
40 so that jffnms get's that version bump officially.
41 I have an early version of jffnms -0.9.x installed
42 but the devs refused to version bump it because
43 it was not "pretty" and conformant to their standards....
44
45
46 drop me an email offline, as jffnms is very easily extended
47 and very cool to add any device....
