Please, keep this PR open. I am learning more about MRTG internals and packaging in Debian. I think I will close this PR soon and send some minor updates to source code (no more changing the rights of the users to run locally, but following the new FHS 3.0). FHS 3.0 was released June 3, 2015.
Thanks.
Now I understand some things... In mrtg-2.9.17, when the Debian bug #67327 caused some these changes, options as --fhs did not exist.
so can we close it now ?
so can we close it now ?
Yes. I am doing several tests in Debian and I think I will drop this patch and #30 in Debian too. These changes were made in 2001 and they are deprecated by new options in MRTG. As the new maintainer of MRTG in Debian, I am learning more about the internals of the MRTG to update the packaging.
Note that I need more 1 week from now to send the last patches for some issues that I will find yet. Please, don't release a new version now. Thanks for your patience and very nice work.
Closing this PR, Closes #30.
