What channel is nagios shipped in? If it's part of RHX (or whatever that's been renamed to recently) it was desired to be out of scope originally. At the one of the last RH Summits (I am thinking Boston 2 years ago) we discussed RHX and working with ISVs on getting software into EPEL rather than a separate shipping channel. We never really decided on anything though.
I guess we need more discussion on the specifics of nagios, but I do wonder if we could revise the policy to be things covered in an AP subscription. Otherwise, it's makes the desirability of EPEL rather low. If I am running Enterprise Linux but don't have a good method to get systems management tools, programming libraries and authentication services, I probably wouldn't use EPEL for very long. I'd switch to something else. EPEL was designed to pair with RHEL. EPEL + RHEL should roughly match the Fedora package collection. If it's RHEL + EPEL + Extra Channel1 + Extra Channel2, ..... that's a difficult sell. Some people see value in support/subscription on layered products, and some do not. stahnma _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
