In FHS-compliant installations, updating files spread all over the

Axel was satisfied with /var/lib/xymon...
/var/lib/xymon is also $HOME for xymon user.
Would both be happy with /var/run/xymon?
If you really want to use the
client-pulls-new-binaries-from-server thing, why are you using
prepackaged .debs anyway? To me, it sounds like you should rather use
a one-time "make install" (possibly packaged as a tarball that you
ship to clients), and go from there.
I have always been doing so.
Now the version in debian testing is newer than one in my repository.
I hope with stable jessie, I no longer have to make own packages.
Moreover, clientupdate is a brillant feature of xymon that should
someday work for all.
This is not to say there's no way to integrate this in the package,
but it needs careful thinking about which parts should be overridable,
and I guess none of that should be enabled by default.
Clientupdate is never enabled by default!
As long as no "clientversion:" are defined in the file client-local.cfg
on xymon server, clientupdate makes nothing.
Accepted?
Best Regards,
Alex
