The tarballs are easy. I know Terabithia repo is building RPM’s… if they or someone can give me basic directions on how it’s currently being done I that would help. Once I know how to do it locally it’s not difficult to add anything into the GitHub actions.

I don't know much about GitHub, but I have been building RPMs at work. I have enough server hardware at home to be able to spin up VMs for RHEL7 / 8 / 9 / 10 to make test builds. I can't really host repositories, though.

I have experience with Github actions for other reasons… I could probably figure out the tags. It would be great if it could automatically build the RPMs, tarballs, debs, or whatever other packaging is necessary on each release so there’s a real pipeline. I don’t have experience with building packages though.

You don't often get email from canne74@gmail.com. Learn why this is important

Hi, I am willing to help (unfortunately my C skills are at the "hello world" level, from university studies).

My votes:

* rename (or duplicate) `xymon-svn-mirror` to `xymon`

* link the Xymon website to the new repo, instead of SVN/SourceForge

* incorporate the pending patches and publish a 4.3.31 (or maybe 4.3.32, since there's already a branch for .31) version, so we can also measure the interest

* enable github actions if anyone has experience to publish releases when a new tag is submitted

* either backport the needful from 4.4alpha or start testing fixes in there

Hi all,

Quick follow-up.

So far, there seems to be agreement that:

· 4.3 is the current production version.

· 4.4 is unfinished and experimental.

· The main blocker is the lack of a shared Git workflow.

To move forward, feedback is needed, and input from everyone is welcome.
Feedback from long-time maintainers and contributors would be especially appreciated (JC Cleaver in particular; Henrik Storner is already involved).

In short:

· Who is willing to help?

· Is https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon-svn-mirror a good place to move forward?

· If not, is there a better proposal (for example under https://github.com/xymon-monitoring)?

· What should be the next concrete step?

Short replies are perfectly fine.

Thanks,
runo
