Hello,
I think that i t's a great thing to special packs which have the same targets
(like windows ;-) ) but from particular host. Like windows shinken hosts and
check_ping which is working well on linux but not on windows (i am talking
about the shinken installation host). In this case, i could create a windows
pack for shinken windows hosts
Maybe with other systems (like smartphones or tablet), it will be great to
create / upgrade packs from a common source and fork to specific values without
changing the shinken core...
And if a simple mechanism may permit a legacy during the user choice of packs
(like windows new - only the check_command and one or two other specific
commands - inherits windows generic - all the other windows standard
commands), i will be great ;-)

Objet: [Shinken-devel] Give packs their own repo?
Hi,
I was wondering if it can be a good thing to export current packs available in
their own repos, and give a simple way to get them when we install Shinken.
I think exporting them to N small repo can help to get more contribution on
them, and even more variation/forks for special cases. It's a bit the idea like
community.shinken-monitoring.org , but far more simple (it's just a repository
for clone), and can push idea to others than they can also create a pack, it's
very easy, and their don't need to clone 100K+ lines of the shinken repo for
just add a new pack.
I think we can focus on finish the current features for the next version, like
modulations and architecture things, but this can be a good thing to work on
for the 1.6 release.
What do you think about this?
Jean
