Package: rancid Version: 2.3.8-6 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi Roland,
The latest RANCID version available for Debian, 2.3.8-6 which is patched as 2.3.8.p4, was generating a lot of false positives (emails with diffs for non-configuration changes, i.e. temperatures, fan speeds, etc.) for new IOS XE and NX-OS releases. These false positives are gone with the filtering performed in the latest RANCID 3.1 release. I created local packages for 3.1 and things are working very well. Please consider packaging 3.1 to address the false positives on recent Cisco software releases and hardware. I am attaching my patches in case they help you to package the new release. I refreshed patches that are still applicable, removed from the series the patches that are no longer applicable, and added a couple of patches (one hack to be able to get the package to build, and the useful usercmd patch to be able to, for example, monitor Cisco ASAs with multiple contexts). My packaging is a quick hack so make sure you compare my files to the files in the official package. Note that the new RANCID is moving a lot of things to Perl modules but their use and location seems non-standard so my package might not be Lintian-free or conform to Debian policy; you'd have to check. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Eloy Paris.-
