Hello Tobie and friends. Based on that question from Paul and your answer I would like to add this as a question/subject for discussion: After having done an initial proof of concept installation I am planning to use multiple raspberry pis (debian based minimal pc) as smokeping slaves in my institution for distributed polling and measuring (master-slave setup). I noticed that when installing from the packages (apt-get install smokeping) the installation assumes that this will be a smokeping server and thus installs apache, furthermore it assumes the presence of a mail server and searches for sendmail, failing at the end of the installation. I have no problem correcting the last issue by installing postfix first, however I was wondering if compiling from source is the only way to avoid all that extra installations in a slave setup. Do you have a suggestion or a different opinion?
It would be great if in the next version (I am hoping for the current one) we could have two different packages for smokeping (one for server and a different one for slave) in the various package databases (debian/Ubuntu, RedHat, SuSE etc). I know it's not for you to fix, just expressing my wish among peers.

You mean dependencies for running probes you are not using ? That is a possibility. Although, if you look at the 3.x github repo, you will see that there is now a script supplied that builds all the dependencies, so handling is much simpler ... will look into this ... cheers tobi > thanks > Paul > > -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch [email protected] ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900
