Building our own NRPE client RPM

[vmesquita]

Hello,

We are building our own Nagios RPM based on the sources pointed by the wizard:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ent.tar.gz

Inside we found specs to build 2 rpms:
nagios-plugins-2.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm
nrpe-2.15-1.x86_64.rpm

However both were broken and we had to produce a patch to fix it:

Does it make any difference to distribute the package split in two like this? Or would it be better to make just one?

That would be totally up to you.

[vmesquita]

Great. How could we submit this patch? Maybe other people would like to build their own RPMs and are having difficulties, it could be useful.

[bolson]

I've forwarded your post to our development team. Awaiting their response. Thank you!
