Xymon version 4.2.2 RC1 available

Yeah, I also noticed this afternoon that the manpages and contrib
directories didn't make it into 'svn co' for either trunk for 4.2.2
branches. The demotool directory also didn't make it into the 4.2.2 branch.
There are various other files missing from 'svn co', but I don't have an
easy way of listing them textually. What I don't know is if Henrik did this
for efficiency / speed of checking out svn or what. In any case, I think
it's better to check everything out - if it hasn't changed, it won't get
updated so it's only a one time thing.

Kind regards,

SebA

docs/manpages/man1,5,7,8

... but something is strange to me ..

in the 4.2.0-relaese

there are only these files in the complete tar-file
http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/branches
/4.2.0.tar.gz?view=tar

  not in the repository under
http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/branches/4.2.0/

.. or what i doing wrong ?

I've just made the release-candidate of version 4.2.2 available

This is how I would expect the interim 4.2.2 release to be.
It includes the following changes from 4.2.0:

*) Due to the Hobbit project being renamed to Xymon (for
  legal reasons), the documentation has been updated to
  refer to this as the name of the project.
*) All patches from the "all-in-one" patch have been applied
*) Patches from Debian and Mandriva source archives and
  elsewhere have been merged, fixing:
  - The "Critical Systems" configuration report would crash
    when hosts were in NKview.cfg, but no NK tags were in
    bb-hosts (from Mandriva)
  - SSL certificates with 4-digit expiration years would
    crash the network tester (from Debian)
  - Newer OpenLDAP versions have a different API, so
    the LDAP test code would not build correctly (from
    Debian)
  - Old Big Brother clients report disk output with no
    header line (from Debian)
  - The bb-hosts syntax for HTTP testing via a proxy
    could not support https target-URL's (from Debian)
  - Certain SuSE versions would not be identified by
    the Linux client as such (only affected OS name
    displayed in the "info" status).
*) Support for sending custom graph data in a "trends"
  data message (from
  http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2007/01/msg00236.html)
*) Split-NCV and TRACKMAX support for custom graphs (from
  http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2007/03/msg00368.htm).
*) Support for the "BBWin" client http://bbwin.sf.net/
  in centralized (server-side) configuration mode.
  Based on BBWin v. 0.12.
*) Support for the "hobbit-perl-client" add-on
  http://hobbit-perl-client.sf.net/ .
  Based on perl-http-client v1.15
*) Support for the "Devmon" SNMP data collector
  http://devmon.sf.net/ based on Devmon 0.3.0.

A last-minute update for Devmon was missed in the RC1
source file, so Devmon users should grab the latest
hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c source from

http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/branches
/4.2.2/hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c?revision=6002

and copy to hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c . This will be included
in the final 4.2.2 release.

Please test this if you can, and report problems to the
mailing list. Since all of this code has been in use for
quite some time, I would not expect a lot of problems.
So the target date for the 4.2.2 release is Dec. 10.

Henrik
