xymon-client (4.3.7-1) experimental; urgency=low This release moves Xymon's configuration from /etc/hobbit/ to /etc/xymon/ and renames quite some files. Additionally most configuration files have been renamed by upstream, too, to be more consistent. See Upstream's migration documentation available at /usr/share/doc/xymon-client/upgrade-to-430.txt.gz and /usr/share/doc/xymon/Renaming-430.txt.gz for details. The package should care about most of the file renaming but can't change the contents of files if they have been edited locally. In the xymon-client package, usually only a few configuration files are modified. (Enabling, disabling of local tests, etc.) So most time it's the easiest way to take the something.cfg.dpkg-new files and change them according to the old configuration files. Lists of files to ignore or care about usually can be kept as they are. You may want to look through the something.cfg.dpkg-new files if there are new files listed you do not yet care about. For changing paths and variable names in old configuration, upstream's migration tools have been installed into /usr/lib/xymon/server/libexec/ of a Xymon server package installation. Nevertheless they are mostly untested in the context of Debian package and are installed primarily for reference purposes. -- Axel Beckert Tue, 26 Jun 2012 01:02:40 +0200
