[users] nconf .spec files and patches

[Nico Kadel-Garcia]

I've got some acquaintances using nconf, a Nagios configuration tool.
There was an update in December, and there's an RPM for OpenSUSE, but
not for RHEL/Fedora, and their SRPM has some incompatibilities I've
tweaked an SRPM to handle.

These are corrections of classic SRPM errors: I'll upstream them when
I get a few cycles.
?* Clear BUILDROOT target before building, which otherwise breaks
with partially failed installaitons
?* Eliminate unnecessary popd steps.
?* Use normal 'doc' to select documentation files.
?* List installdir/ components individually, to avoid duplication complaints
?* Use imagepak-base.tar.gz from sourceforge, with URL listed
properly in .spec file
?* List Perl dependencies by module name, not by package name.

These are for RHEL
?* Discarded the unnecessary rpmlintrc
?* Moved the installation to /var/www/nconf/ for compatiblity with SELinux
?* Rolled back the hard-coded '/usr/bin/mail' to '/bin/mail'.
?* Eliminated apxs dependencies, use RHEL standard httpd config
locations instead
?* Added php dependency

It's still not perfect: the use of 'sudo' to reload Nagios
configurations is an old problem for Apache based software, due to the
lack of a tty for PHP sccripts, and that really needs an suid wrapper.
But it's the only Nagios GUI I can find that isn't abandonware.

I'm including my .spec file, and the little deploy-local patch that
the OpenSUSE SRPM included. Can we possibly get this into RPMforge?

Nico,
Thanks for your work. Are you able to submit it via GitHub as a pull
request? We want everything, as much as possible, covered by issue and
pull request tracker on GitHub, just for the record and/or history. Once
you submit it via GitHub I'm going to review, do test builds and commit
immediately. As to RepoForge builds, that's quite different situation,
we are still waiting for Dag.
Thanks,
David Hrb??
