I'm new to Zenoss but like what I see, and really like the use of Python and Zope. But it's currently a bit painful to build on FreeBSD, as some parts have Linux-oriented assumptions (e.g., hardwired /bin/bash path, expectation of alloca.h), and I'm still experiencing core dumps in the build I got running this weekend on FreeBSD-7.x.
(I'm also interested in running it in a FreeBSD jail, which adds some complexity -- e.g., no raw socket access by default). If I were to make a port of Zenoss Core, it would make my life easier in the future, and hopefully others. Has anyone else started in this direction? Any progress? Any road-blocks? I've not built a FreeBSD port before but certainly used a lot and have a basic understanding. I've also done a bunch of zc.buildout work, if that's a different approach which a port could exploit, instead of Makefiles. At least this would be a good way for me to put my toe into the Zenoss waters and contribute back something... _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
