deb/rpm/etc packaging? #259

Closed BloodyIron closed 4 years ago

BloodyIron commented 4 years ago

Any chance we can get librenms-agent packaged in a way our package managers can be aware of it? A PPA/repo might be a good idea too, so we can easily get updates for it too.

The manual steps of installation now exist outside typical software management practices in many open source OS distros.

Probably would be good to approach who ever is managing the LibreNMS package on those systems.

That said unfortunately this all is a bit of a mess with not everything really being cross platform etc. Sorta of a grab the bit you need and drop it in place.

Typically those releasing the software (this github project) would build the packages and serve a PPA/repo. This is commonplace for many open source projects. Considering the software already works on multiple distros, packaging them for those distros in a way the package manager can be aware is plenty reasonable and achievable.
