Hi!
With Ethan pushing for Nagios 2 to be final soon, we should look to
getting another release of the plugins. Here's my list of tasks that
need to be completed:
- complete the testing suite (at least getting tinderbox to report
everything passes). I'll do this in the next two weeks
- more internationalisation clean up - Benoit was going to do some
of this
- more bug fixes. There's lots of useful stuff in SF, but I
haven't had a chance to go through a lot of them. I will probably do
some on a plugin basis because some tests are more complete than
others (check_disk covers a lot of good cases)
- I'm creating a check_mysql_query for a customer which I'll be
adding back into the distribution. This is because I plan on adding
some library functions for thresholds and perf data that has been
design in the dev guidelines, but not implemented yet
- website redesign. Just to look a bit better :)
Moving forward, I want to concentrate on testing a lot more. I'm a
convert to good testcases and I can see down the line in future that
I want a failing test case submitted with most patches, so that it is
easily proved that the patches are good. I've been using libtap
(http://jc.ngo.org.uk/trac-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/LibTap) which is used by
the FreeBSD team to regression test their C code, and I plan on
adding this to our current test suite.
Does anyone else have a list of things to be done for the next
release? I think mid March is probably a reasonable target.
