Description Stephen John Smoogen 2016-10-27 22:35:30 UTC
Description of problem:

The Nagios package is several versions behind the current release by Nagios.org. While there do not seem to be any known security problems the version 4.0.8 is no longer supported. 

I tried emailing the packager last week and got a bounce on his email address with affix.me no longer around. It was re-registered this week but I want to make sure it is with the same person etc.

Stephen,

I am one of the package administrators and did get your email, just haven't had the time to respond as I was hospitalized for several weeks.

affix.me email hasn't worked since before I was even an admin for the package.

I am in short supply of time, however it looks like you and a couple contributors have done some work on the package, I would be willing to make them contributors on the package.

One thing I will note, major version bumps ( like from 3.x.x to 4.x.x ) where Nagios API changes (and config items are deprecated) will only likely be approved if it is the only option to fix a CVE, and then, only if there is some sort of automated way to clean the configs.

Comment 2 Stephen John Smoogen 2016-11-03 16:32:59 UTC
OK I am going to start the nonresponsive packager for affix then as you are not listed as the owner or contact for the package. I will look at taking over the package as I need it for my day to day work.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

This package has met resolution. I have taken over nagios and will be working on a replacement package.
