We're collecting more and more Nagios bugs every day, and we've been

We are?
I'm currently using the stable version myself and it does seem to work.
The web-interface isn't the most useful, but the emails do get send.
The main problem as far as I can see is that nagios-plugins is a big
mess, and it's hard for any one person to test. (We use it at work, but
there's no ipv6 there, or ldap, or snmp, or game servers...)
I use LDAP, no IPv6 yet.
But I don't have a check on the LDAP yet. (If that dies, I get plenty of other
failures anyway)
I've rewritten the nagios, nagios-core, and nagios-plugins ebuilds, and
will eventually ask permission to commit them to ~arch. That will rip
the band-aid off, so to speak, after which I can work on addressing the
existing bugs. But before I do, I'd like to have a few people test it
and tell me it works.
So if anyone is using nagios, please give these a try.
net-analyzer/nagios and net-analyzer/nagios-core:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485756
nagios-plugins:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522946
I'd love to, but am a bit constrained with time.
Nagios is, for me, not mission-critical. If you do push them to the tree, I
will check them as they come in. Any bugs I find, I will report along, if
possible, as much info as possible. (Preferably also patches)
If you see any problems, just comment on the bug or email me or
whatever. I am actually using these ebuilds, so they won't delete your
system32 or anything. If there are bugs they're likely in one of the
parts I don't use. I'm also pretty sure that most of the open bugs on
b.g.o still apply, but this version at least shouldn't be any worse than
the one in the tree.
If it were me, feel free to push them to the tree.
