Hi all,

as Munin 2.0.0 is out since end of May and some user like to see it in the 
OpenCSW repository, I pushed updated Munin packages into the experimental 
branch [1]. The packages are called now "munin_master", "munin_node" and 
"munin_common".

Before installing the new packages, please make a backup of your existing rrd 
files. They should be located under /etc/opt/csw/munin/db. The Munin developers 
say, that upgrading is straightforward and data loss should not occure, but 
better be cautious. 

Until now I could only test the installation of a fresh Munin master and node, 
so I'd really appreciate to get some feedback about upgrading from earlier 
versions to 2.0.0.

After installing the packages you will see a message with the necessary steps 
to get the node or the master running. On [2] the installation is described a 
little bit more in detail (not very comprehensive yet).

As Munin 2.x now creates it's graphs only via CGI scripts, the master's new 
configuration file has some new options. When upgrading from an earlier 
version, you need to merge your existing config file with the delivered config 
sample (as described in the installation message too). Just copying the new 
options into your config should work.

The configuration for the Apache Webserver has been changed too. Now the sample 
config creates a VirtualHost, read it carefully. The sample config is just 
taken from the Munin developers. If you have other suggestions - maybe without 
defining a virtual host - I'm glad to include one or two alternative config 
samples.

After a (fresh) installation of Munin wait for the first run of the master's 
cronjob. Before that you will get an error message in your browser like this:
"Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at 
/opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl/Munin/Master/HTMLOld.pm line 656."
The CGI script has just no data to work with.

So, feedback to improve the packages is very welcome. Enjoy!
