a short status update of the bug. With upstream I managed to get the stuff to
compile and running on the first look.
After testing the package for a while, I recognized that the migration over to
iputils-ping introduces a regression. If a echo reply is missing, check_ping
seems to return nothing, which results into a "Plugin timed out after 10
seconds". A bit more information can be found at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=397597&aid=2896201&group_id=29880
and I contacted upstream about the problem ~3 weeks ago, but as you may
imagine, the holidays we had, slowed the process a bit down.
Anyhow ... this bug is at the moment the main showstopper to upload an updated
package. Leaving it unfixed with the next upload seems not an option, but
having the freeze in march in mind, things will get a bit into rush, as I
don't want to upload the package in the last minutes. Fixing new bugs
(possible introduced with the new upload) before the freeze, will be more
comfortable for all related parties.
So ... if anybody has a solution in mind to get the package using iputils-ping
(at least on non-linux) and not introducing the regression on the remaining
arch, feel free to step forward and provide patches now! :)
You can of course conditionalize build-dependencies and dependencies based
on architecture. This way configuration on linux could remain the same
(no regression) and on previously uninstallable architectures
there could be limited functionality (improvement). See bellow for idea.
I looked into sources of inetutils-ping - it looks like its general
timeout is 10 seconds. So please could be also possible to alter
"plugin timeout" to use 15 seconds ?
Thanks for your care about GNU/kFreeBSD.
