Re: [Nagios-devel] minor nsca license nit

Post by Guest »

I built annsca/nsca-client package for Fedora/CentOS for my institution
from a few weeks ago that I never got around to submitting. Might I see
what you've got, so my environment doesn't get too out of line with
what's eventually making it into Fedora?
