Hello, Jffnms is a very cool network management package, albeit a little complex to install and configure. Thanks to 'angusyoung' installation is now a breeze. I thought I'd post what I did to get it to install, in explicit form, in case anyone else wanted to check out this excellent 'network management system'.
I've been reading and working on installing jffnms, an experimental new package not yet in the portage tree. Here are the documents I have been using as a guide for this installation: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_ Ebuilds#ebuild:_A_Safer_Approach http://gentoo-wiki.com/Portage_Overlay_Listing#Gentoo_PHP_Overlay http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92501 Here's what I did in a synopsis: vi /etc/make.conf: PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/" vi /etc/portage/package.keywords net-analyzer/jffnms ~x86 vi /etc/portage/package.use net-analyzer/jffnms snmp vi /etc/portage/package.unmask # >=net-analyzer/jffnms-0.8.2 mkdir /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms cd /usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms copy latest ebuild from buzilla (92501) to file named: jffnms-0.8.2.ebuild ebuild jffnms-0.8.2.ebuild digest <create Manifest and the files dir> emerge jffnms .... now it's installed: net-analyzer/jffnms Latest version available: 0.8.2 Latest version installed: 0.8.2 Size of downloaded files: 544 kB Questions: Did I miss anything? Is anything in the above synopsis incorrect or not necessary? Anyone else want to try installing jffnms so as to test it on Gentoo? On to configuring this beast! http://dev.gentoo.org/~angusyoung/docs/jffnms James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
