Description Lupe Christoph 2004-02-07 15:30:19 UTC
	Node-specific part of Munin
	http://www.linpro.no/projects/munin/
	Munin is a tool for graphing all sorts of information about one or
	more servers and displaying it in a web interface. It uses the
	execellent RRDTool (written by Tobi Oetiker) and is written in Perl.
	Munin has a master/node architecture. The master connects to all
	the nodes at regular intervals, and asks them for data. It then
	stores the data in RRD-files, and (if needed) updates the graphs.
	One of the main goals have been ease of creating own "plugins"
	(graphs).

You're right. Sorry for packing it ;-) I have a slightly corrected
version of the munin-main port. You can pick the ports up at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/munin/munin-freebsd-ports.tar.gz?download
or do you want me to mail the munin-main port?

Thanks for picking the ports up!

Btw, could you make /var/run/munin configurable at compile time ?

Minor stuff:

- relocate LIBDIR to .../share/munin (it was .../lib, not a
  brilliant idea...)
- Preserve group munin when deleting user munin;
  check if user or group have been deleted before pkg_delete.

Done. But I don't know how to add the comments to *both* entries.

> Btw, could you make /var/run/munin configurable at compile time ?

Any preferred way to do that?

Ok, I'll have a look at this tomorrow morning.

Not needed :)

Hum, I believe it stores it's rrd files in this directory, I'll say
MUNIN_DIR?=/var/run/munin
in Makefile, and passing it through whatever CONFIGURE_ARGS or a post-patch
target changing it all the way in the files, whatever appropriate :)

No, the RRD files go into $PREFIX/var/munin. qCan you suggest a better
place?  In the Debian packages, they go into /var/lib/munin, but I
recently read on debian-news that RRD files should go into /var/cache
there (they were not talking about Munin, but some other package using
RRDtool). The source package of Munin defaults to
$(DESTDIR)/var/opt/munin.

I've never seen /var/opt on FreeBSD, so I dropped the /opt. With so many
pathes around, why not opt for variety ;-) SCNR. DATADIR looked like
it's meant for static data.

Lupe Christoph

PS: /var/run/munin is only used for *.pid and *.lock. Files that can be
    cleaned out by a reboot. I'm used to Solaris 8 having a tmpfs
    mounted as /var/run and Debian cleaning out /var/run on boot, so I
    shy away from having data there...

Oh, ok, so, don't move them, they're at their right place :)

Whoa, calm down, I'll let them be :-)

With so many possibilities, it isn't easy or straightforward to pick the
right one. It wasn't genius, just a stroke of luck ;-)

Anything else I should change? I mean except the relocation from
$PREFIX/lib to $DATADIR I already did?

You can have a look at what I committed, it's a bit different from what you
sent, mainly plist fixes, and PKGMESSAGE change (you shall not write anything
outside of WRKDIR when building) and, hum, slight change in pkg-message too,
no need to complicate things. What else, hum, I don't know, if I broke
something, just tell me :)

Thanks for all the improvements. Especially for correcting my oversights
with the plist.

You added etc/munin/VERSION.node to the plist, which AFAIK causes it to
be removed by portupgrade (pkg_delete, probably). But this is a marker
that is used on upgrades to locate added plugins and automagically link
them to the etc/munin/plugins directory.

I found no way to differentiate between an upgrade and a complete
removal.

What I need on an upgrade is the old plugin directory, and the VERSION
that is being upgraded. BTW, that is also the reason I don't empty the
etc/munin/plugins directory on pkg_delete.

So I think VERSION.node must be removed from plist.

Lupe Christoph

PS: I generated the distinfo file with make makesum as it is described
    in the Porter's Handbook. I see you added a SIZE line. Shouldn't
    make makesum have added that line, too?

Well, badly there is no way to find out wether you're deleting the port or
wether you're upgrading :/ and when deleting, a port should remove all it's
files. Maybe you should have a look at pkgconfig's plist, maybe you should
do the same thing. You can come with this question on ports@ to see what's
the way to go :)

Your /usr/ports/Mk was not up-to-date, that's what I guess :)
