32 | Q: I'm using Redhat Linux (or some other RPM-based distribution). | ||
33 | Which packages should I install? | ||
34 | |||
35 | A: The package monitoring-plugins-<version>.<arch>.rpm contains only | ||
36 | those plugins that should work on any POSIX compliant system. In | ||
37 | other words, you should be able to install this package on your | ||
38 | system, no matter what else is or in not installed. | ||
39 | |||
40 | However, most of us have more complex systems than barebones | ||
41 | POSIX. We tried creating a variety of separate packages so | ||
42 | each dependency could be installed cleanly, but many people | ||
43 | found that this resulted in too many packages. So in the end, | ||
44 | all the non-POSIX plugins were folded into one RPM | ||
45 | (monitoring-plugins-<version>.<arch>.rpm). Most people will need to | ||
46 | use RPM's '--nodeps' option to install this package. | ||

49 | Q: My system uses the .deb package format. What packages should I | ||
50 | install? | ||
51 | |||
52 | A: We strive for cooperation between all packagers and developers. | ||
53 | The answers for .deb are the same as for RPM, after changing the | ||
54 | package name suffixes accordingly. | ||

56 | |||
57 | Q: I prefer to build my own RPMs. Do I need to install all of the | ||
58 | various dependencies? | ||
59 | |||
60 | A: Beginning with the 1.2.9-1 release, you may run | ||
61 | |||
62 | rpm --define 'custom 1' -ta monitoring-plugins-<release>.tar.gz | ||
63 | |||
64 | In prior releases, you must unpack the tarball and build the | ||
65 | RPM using monitoring-custom.spec with 'rpm -ba'. | ||
