Hello, I have the intention to adopt the spong package and have filled an ITA. (bug #235526 )
spong is a system and network monitoring tool. It can monitor several hosts and groups with centralized data collection. You can then get data through a command line tool or via a CGI Web interface. It can also provide RRD charts. I have prepared a new upload of spong and I am searching for a sponsor to check it and upload it once it's ready. You can find all needed files at http://debian.zorglub.org/packages/spong Here is the changelog for this upload: spong (2.7.7-4) unstable; urgency=low * New maintainer * Cleaned up the rules script and use debhelper when possible * Added manpages for all binaries (using pod2man for most of them) * Fixed packaging glitches, makes lintian happier * Fixed RRD domain directory permissions (Closes:#229965) * Added User-Agent HTTP header (Closes:#245972) * Made RRD link domain-specific (Closes:#229966) * Remove useless GIF files (Closes:#229998) * Added README.Debian for spong-www about rrdtool (Closes:#229934) There are some outstanding bugs which are not fixed by this upload: 229994 ( No RRD config file ) : requires code work I'll talk to upstream and will try to do it myself if he doesn't answer 154263 ( permissions on /var/lib/spong/rrd ) : already fixed 180079 ( http port paramaeter ) : already fixed 229929 ( klogd ) maybe ask for more info from submitter. As I understand it, I don't consider this as a bug I have a question about the debconf templates. The source spong package generates four binary packages (spong-client/common/server/www). At the moment, the spong-common's templates files provides templates for all four packages, and thus, lintian complains (warning) that the 3 others don't have any templates. What is the best solution ? - split the templates in 4 package.templates files and add the missing ones to POTFILES.in - provide "dummy" empty template files for the three other pacckages - ignore this warning Thanks for your help, -- Zorglub Clément Stenac
