If no one is interested, that's great -- I can push my changes with |
| 8 |
reckless abandon =) |

I'm not up-to-date either, but Nagios is still in the tree, and we still |
| 11 |
use it, so I'd like to clean up a bit. |

At the moment I'm just trying to clean up the existing ebuilds so that |
| 19 |
we can jump to the newest major version. There are a ton of other things |
| 20 |
that need to be fixed, but I'm not going to work on them without a nice |
| 21 |
clean starting point. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If the 4.x bump doesn't break existing, working, setups, then hopefully |
| 24 |
I can just commit it and start on this list: |
| 25 |

| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Porting it to a cluster (whatever that involves) would come after the |
| 29 |
version bump. |

You give me too much credit. I know that it forked into Icinga, but |
| 39 |
Nagios is still being developed upstream. We use it as a glorified |
| 40 |
`ping` that likes to wake me up at 4am, and it still works just fine for |
| 41 |
that, so I haven't worried too much about the politics. |
