2014-01-11doc/faq/git.md: Omit most references to SVNHolger Weiss1-11/+11
This text was written a few years ago, when we switched from SVN to Git. These days, it makes less sense to assume the reader is accustomed to SVN but not to Git.

2014-01-11development.md: Don't mention the GuidelinesHolger Weiss1-8/+0

2014-01-11Import most FAQ items from old web siteHolger Weiss25-7/+919
Import most of the FAQ entries from our old web site. A few outdated questions have been omitted, many of the imported ones were updated in one way or another, and the order of the development-related questions has been changed. Also, the phrasing of some questions has been modified (just to make the headings shorter). For the record, this is the original list of questions from the old web site: General ------- * Who controls the Nagios Plugins project? * What license is Nagios Plugins distributed under? * Who owns the copyright for the Nagios Plugin code? * Can I submit a patch to this project? * Do you accept donations? Compiling --------- * ./configure appears to hang * check_ldap, check_radius or check_pgsql don't compile even though configure output says the required libraries are present * How come check_http/check_tcp doesn't work with --ssl? * How do I compile the Nagios::Plugin perl module? * I can't compile check_mysql on solaris * I get '":types" is not exported by the Params::Validate module' when running tests * Why does Solaris use pst3 for check_procs? Installing ---------- * Some of the root plugins (check_dhcp and check_icmp) haven't been installed. What's happening? * Why aren't my plugins installed as the nagios user? And what about root plugins? Development ----------- * How do I use Git? * Can I add extra tests to the C routines? * Can I use the Nagios Plugins in my own project? * How can I find out more about writing a plugin? * How do I make changes on nagiosmib? * How do I prove the C routines work? * How do I use and update Gnulib? * How do I use the Nagios::Plugin perl module? * How do the test parameters in NPTest.pm work? * Private C APIs
2014-01-08check-mirrors: Use ncftpget(1) instead of curl(1)Holger Weiss1-3/+3
Some of our FTP mirrors seem to have trouble with active mode, others with passive mode. Unlike curl(1), ncftpget(1) supports falling back to active mode if passive mode fails.
2014-01-08check-mirrors: Use active FTP modeHolger Weiss1-1/+1
Accessing ftp://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/nagios-plugins/ is very slow when passive mode is used. As the EPSV command seems to be the culprit, an alternative would be to specify "--disable-epsv".
2014-01-08download.md: Cosmetic changeHolger Weiss1-7/+6
Don't start a new paragraph for the list of mirrors.
2014-01-08Add another two FTP mirrorsHolger Weiss2-1/+42

2014-01-08build-web-site: Rename variablesHolger Weiss1-10/+10

2014-01-08build-web-site: Use poole script in ~/libexecHolger Weiss1-2/+2
Actually use the ~/libexec/poole script that's now maintained in this repository.
2014-01-08libexec/poole: Preserve symlinks and file metadataHolger Weiss1-1/+10
Preserve any symlinks and file metadata when copying files from the source to the target directory.
2014-01-08Import our web site generator (Poole)Holger Weiss1-0/+746
Import Poole, which is the script we use for generating our web site from Markdown. Poole is maintained in a Mercurial repository at Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/obensonne/poole/ We currently don't use the latest changeset, as that requires Python 3. Also, we've applied a small local patch. So our setup might be easier to reproduce if we maintain our version of Poole in this repository, at least for the moment. This commit imports the unmodified Mercurial changeset 625d57a5d07a, the following commit will add our local patch.
2014-01-08Add more FTP mirrorsHolger Weiss2-1/+98
Add the FTP mirrors from Argentina, Belgium, Greece, New Zealand, and Korea.
2014-01-01check-mirrors: Have curl(1) retry FTP transfersHolger Weiss1-1/+2
