The package perl-Monitoring-Plugin is currently not available in EPEL 8. This package is important for a lot of my customers. Many Perl based Nagios/Icinga plugins from community depend on this library. Are there any plans to release this package for EPEL 8?
I for sure do not have time to do this. I don't know about the other maintainers. Do you want to co-maintain and create it yourself?
I'm not yet familiar with the Fedora build system, but i'll give it a try. As it's a very simple package, a port for el8 shouldn't be very complicated in my opinion.
Seems like the changes in the f28 branch are exactly what we need. Could someone just create a new epel8 branch from the f28 branch?
I'll build it. https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/17824 https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/17825
