move to official project url?

[r-lindner]

Hello, I looked at all 110 pnp4nagios forks for changes after @lingej abandoned the project. There are 6 people who seem to add small things to their own current fork. Wouldn't it make sense to use the organization https://github.com/pnp4nagios and add the people that want to maintain it there? Than maybe lingej can add another comment to the readme pointing to the new official repo.

What are your thoughts @jimorie @pnp4nagios2 @tjyang @mtnielsen @learnmonitoring @Tontonitch

Sounds like a good idea. I don't expect to come in touch with pnp4nagios for the foreseeable future, but I'll ping some colleagues that might.

Hi All

I created pnp4ngios2 GitHub organization for testing/learning purpose. Definitely I will contribute to official pnp4nagios org and delete pnp4nagios2 later.

Goals feasible for my skillset are:

• For local rpm testing: "./bootstrap.bash && make rpm" to get set of RPMs like the ones in EPEL.
• Be able to run "sudo dnf install -y pnp4nagios" on RL8, this will need to work with existing RPM keeper on EPEL7 repo.

Hi, I have no real desire to maintain the project. My one fix was just to get 0.6.26 to run on whichever PHP version is current on EPEL (can't remember). You can have it if you want. :-)

@mtnielsen , Thanks for the response. Please post your patch somewhere. On CentOS 7.9, it is php-5.4.16-48.el7.x86_64. To re-activate this project we need php/C dev and ops ppl involved. Especially we need dev resources since kohana HMVC php framework is also defunct and koseven(work with php7+) is poised to succeed it.

@r-lindner or @russellvt

Would you mind take over and lead this project with my endorsement ? If you guys all agree then we can activate this project with 3 committed resources.

Hello all, here's one more long time user of pnp4nagios. I regret that my favoured graphing tool for Nagios/Icinga is not maintained any more. Shouldn't we all get together and maintain pnp4nagios instead of creating a bunch of new forks?

I'll be willing to help! I'm not a "leader", but I got some experience in Perl/PHP. It will certainly take some time to get "in there", but I thing it is worth it!

That's why I opened this issue.

And that's why I chose THIS fork for getting together. From the readme:

As a long-time user of pnpnagios, I am trying to give the project a good home as we try to further develop this project..

I am happy to try to take over pieces of this, along with @r-lindner (or whomever else would like to contribute). However, I am not currently a member of that project/organization ... so, if someone can convince @lingej to give us "deeper access" to that org, I am happy to work within it.

Otherwise, I think this is "just as good location as any other," until we establish a "new" master site or domain (if-appropriate). But, I am happy to help coordinate further development / improvement efforts as people would like for this code.

Note: I have opened up the Discussions feature on this repo, and created #9 for continuing this set of questions, there.

I will be closing this out of the Issues category with this response (that's not a dismissal ... just a re-focus). Thank you all!!!
