mailguy, that would be great! ganglia has been a part of the SuSE distribution CD for a while but i don't know who is packaging it up. i'd like to have an RPM for SuSE with each release. if you are offering to maintain the SuSE RPM, we will happily accept. email us any questions you have and we'll help you as much as possible. all the different linux distributions are a little frustrating. i wish there was at least a standard way of making a LINUX distribution instead of one for RedHat, SuSE, Debian, et al. we've ported ganglia to run nicely on every flavor of linux (and every hardware platform) but packaging it up is a whole different beast all together. > ganglia-monitor-core-2.4.1-1.i386.rpm installed fine, except for > again, the init script had to be changed and placed in the correct > location. /etc/rc.d/init.d/ does not exist on SuSE, rather all init > scripts go in /etc/init.d.
