Hi, Could you please branch and build libdbi for EPEL 9 ? Regards, Xavier
Hi Xavier, I would like to ask about your use case for this quite old and years unmaintained component? Thanks
Hi Filip, I'm tracking missing dependencies for nagios-plugins. libdbi is needed for the nagios-plugins-dbi subpackage which provides check_dbi. Adding Guido, nagios-plugins maintainer, to CCs. Guido, what do you think ? Regards, Xavier
If libdbi is unmaintained, It think it should be better to remove the check_dbi plugin from nagios, at least in epel9.

This package is also needed for collectd-dbi - https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:DBI (SPEC file https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/collectd/blob/rawhide/f/collectd.spec#_139).
Also blocks https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2110121
My oppinion is still the same. It is not the best idea to add to EPEL9 unmantained component. If you really want it I will welcome anyone who want to participate on maintenance and he/she also can build and maintain it for EPEL9.

Is this issue still relevant? After checking nagios-plugins, it doesn't provide check_dbi above f36 by default, so it shouldn't be needed anymore for this package. Some other packages still depend on it like gnucash (and optionally collectd with dbi subpackage) which were mentioned. Upstream seems to still be dead with latest commit almost 7 years ago.
It's not relevant, at least to me. This was needed for the nagios-plugins package, which, as you noted, is not shipping check_dbi anymore. There were other people interested in it for other purposes/packages though (collectd and gammu).
gnucash needs it, unfortunately.
I'll maintain it for epel9.
