(Resending as apparently my first attempt didn't make it through.)
First of all, thanks for making this plugin. It works well and is very handy. As requested in the documentation, I am sending this to the nagios-users list rather than directly to the author. With some minor modifications, the package builds properly on SUSE. There are two main Nagios packaging differences from RedHat: 1) All Nagios plugins are installed to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, even on 64-bit (there is no /usr/lib64/nagios directory). This may not make the most sense, but it is what is, and being consistent with other Nagios packages is good. 2) Non-binary plugin RPMs (e.g. Perl scripts only) use noarch, while binary plugins use the corresponding arch. For examples of both, browse the build service repo at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SLE_11.1/ . Being a Perl script, check_openmanage falls under the former. This is easily solved with an %if block to make a universal RPM spec: ==== BEGIN PATCH ==== --- nagios-plugins-openmanage.spec.orig 2011-10-05 10:00:18.000000000 -0500 +++ nagios-plugins-openmanage.spec 2011-12-01 15:02:10.000000000 -0600 @@ -5,6 +5,16 @@ # No binaries here, do not build a debuginfo package %global debug_package %{nil} +# SUSE installs Nagios plugins under /usr/lib, even on 64-bit +# It also uses noarch for non-binary Nagios plugins +%if %{defined suse_version} +%global nagiospluginsdir /usr/lib/nagios/plugins +BuildArch: noarch +%else +%global nagiospluginsdir %{_libdir}/nagios/plugins +%endif + + Name: nagios-plugins-openmanage Version: 3.7.3 Release: 1%{?dist} ==== END PATCH ==== I also tested building on CentOS 5 to make sure nothing broke there, and indeed, nothing changed there.
