If no one is interested, that's great -- I can push my changes with reckless abandon =) I'm not up-to-date either, but Nagios is still in the tree, and we still use it, so I'd like to clean up a bit. > Let's make a deal.

At the moment I'm just trying to clean up the existing ebuilds so that we can jump to the newest major version. There are a ton of other things that need to be fixed, but I'm not going to work on them without a nice clean starting point. If the 4.x bump doesn't break existing, working, setups, then hopefully I can just commit it and start on this list: https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=nagios Porting it to a cluster (whatever that involves) would come after the version bump. > I think the Nagios user community is now splintered (it's been > a while since I looked at Nagios seriously) cause the "main dude" > became such a *F!zt* so that most users left his fiefdom.

We use it as a glorified `ping` that likes to wake me up at 4am, and it still works just fine for that, so I haven't worried too much about the politics.
