Subject: [Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#678396: check-mk: New upstream version
1.2.0p1 available
From: Bernhard Schmidt <be...@birkenwald.de>

Package: check-mk
Version: 1.1.12p7-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
with the freeze coming up, it would be appreciated if you would package the new
"stable"
upstream version 1.2.0p1.
In addition to importing the new upstream version there are a few tweaks
necessary to
the debian/ directory. I have a local repository with 1.2.0p1 already, if you
haven't
looked at packaging 1.2.0 so far I can cleanup my patches and attach them.
just some more thoughts on the issue itsself.
we're using custom selfbuilt rpms for checkmk, using their release
tarballs. a while back, we upgraded from 1.1.11i to 1.1.13i - yes i know
those versions are even more unstable.
we ran into the mentioned perfdata changes in combination with
pnp4nagios, but also other compatibility breaking changes which were
partly resolvable by proper packages and partly needed man days of
manual investigation. hearing from check_mk devs, i quote, " dnsmichi:
normal users have support contracts", is pretty "awesome" for calling
their releases "stable" *sigh*
since 1.1.13i is one innovation release on the way to the "stable" 1.2.0
tree, i highly doubt that these mentioned issues are either resolved, or
probably reduced.

since the wheezy freeze is NOW in progress, i don't think you should
hurry putting that into the current wheezy release target. i would
rather go with sanity and help make the wheezy-backports package ready,
and point users over there. even make rrd transition work - that can be
scripted if needed.
if you happen to have packages within the next months for that, i'd be
happy to help test and fix possible regressions on my test boxes (icinga
only ofc) to keep my production boxes safe when i do a d-u.
jm2c,
michael
