I don't think that is necessary (see my reason below) - people that just want to have a more up to date web UI can just download the latest version to their web server, without using the latest gmond code > 3.

I think it is workable, but it may add more effort to keep versions synchronised (e.g. keeping a table listing which combinations of gmond/gmetad/web are safe) When you give people a single bundle with everything having one version number, there will hopefully be less support questions Another slight variation (although not what I am in favour of) is this: - keep separate Ganglia-monitor and Ganglia-web repos, as you have have now, and with different version numbers - release them separately - packaging teams (e.g. for Debian) release a `virtual' package, such as `ganglia-monitor-full' or `ganglia-reporting-suite', that depends on the real packages If we are going to go down this path with multiple version numbers, then maybe version number checking is needed. E.g. I added metrics to mod_gstatus so it reports agent versions as strings, maybe that should be enabled by default? The gmetad XML has a version too: <GANGLIA_XML VERSION="3.1.7" SOURCE="gmetad"> If the web UI is receiving version numbers for all the gmonds and gmetads, then it can quickly spot compatibility issues ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list Ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
