I finally managed to build both ubuntu 12 & 14 packages based on pkg-debian - if I skipped the patches and relaxed the dependency check on my home built packages.
I also had to add packages libvirt-bin dpatch to be able to build. Finally I had to build protobuf and protobuf-c for both platforms (and librdkafka for ubuntu 12) If/when you start building the packages do you plan to provide them for download somewhere? That would be awesome! thanks again! /svante 2015-05-11 11:04 GMT+02:00 Marc Fournier <marc.fourn...@camptocamp.com>: > Hello Svante, > > I still have a couple of details to sort out so nothing "official" yet, > but I've been working on making nightly builds of collectd for debian, > ubuntu LTS and centos. > > So if you feel like giving this a try, recent packages for your target > distros are ready for consumption.
