One comment, though. Instead of simply deleting the plugins with problematic deps, you could filter out the requires they generate. That way they'll work if the user have installed the modules from CPAN or something like that. I learned how to do this when I had a similar problem with a cpanflute-generated .src.rpm. You put "Source999: filter-requires.sh" and "%define __find_requires %{SOURCE999}" in the .spec. SOURCES/filter-requires.sh is a simple shell script, containing the following: #!/bin/sh /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires "$@" \ | egrep -vi 'mqseries|mime::lite|net::jabber' Obviously you need to replace the regexp with whatever you want to filter out, but I didn't need to tell you that, I'm sure. :-) I'll ask Dagfinn to create a SVN user for you when he arrives at the office, and then I'll send you the credentials in private mail.

Jimmy has been too pressed for time lately and has been looking for someone to pass things on to. My munin background is that I've submitted a few plugins - but never worked further down in Munin than that. So I started out by moving the Munin home page. http://munin.sourceforge.net/ now points to a Trac site at Linpro. We've started working on the documentation in the Wiki included in Trac and ported all the bug and feature requests from source forge to Tracs ticket system. Any of you that had outstadning requests at source forge should have received email about that. I propose that the documentation from now on is whatever is in the Trac Wiki. The distribution (.tar,.rpm and so on) will probably have some dumps from there in addition to the README and INSTALL files. Please take a look at the documentation there and feel free to fix any mistakes or lacks (lots of stuff is still missing). Aside from the opening page all the pages are open to anonymous editing. I should be able to devote a couple of more days to Munin before Christmas- I may well end up using them to write documentation just to increase my own understanding of Munin.

The orig rpm spec for munin used a diffrent trick: It would chmod -x all the plugins, and so rpm wouldn't check them for dependencies, then chmod +x them after that. I think it's cleaner to just remove those plugins. People who install via yum/apt/yast2/etc will expect all the dependencies to be met when they install a package. For something to not work would be confusing and annoying. I think it's better to make sure all the plugins work within the package system or not ship them.
