Hello!

I have made a first attempt at packaging for OpenPKG; the software in question 
being Munin. The following is a description of Munin from the developer site:

"Munin the monitoring tool surveys all your computers and remembers what it 
saw. It presents all the information in graphs through a web interface. Its 
emphasis is on plug and play capabilities. After completing a installation a 
high number of monitoring plugins will be playing with no more effort.

Using Munin you can easily monitor the performance of your computers, 
networks, SANs, applications, weather measurements and whatever comes to 
mind. It makes it easy to determine "what's different today" when a 
performance problem crops up. It makes it easy to see how you're doing 
capacity-wise on any resources.

Munin uses the excellent RRDTool (written by Tobi Oetiker) and the framework 
is written in Perl, while plugins may be written in any language. Munin has a 
master/node architecture in which the master connects to all the nodes at 
regular intervals and asks them for data. It then stores the data in RRD 
files, and (if needed) updates the graphs. One of the main goals has been 
ease of creating new plugins (graphs). "

The SRPM can be obtained at this url:

http://limacute.projects.linpro.no/browser/trunk/PKG/munin-1.2.4-1.src.rpm?format=raw

The source RPM generates two packages; one for the client daemon and one for 
the data gatherer.

It is my hope that Munin will be part of the OpenPKG distribution, so I'll be 
very grateful if you can review the package and provide some feedback. 


Best regards,
