smokeping (2.6.5-1~experimental0) experimental; urgency=low Instead of bundling our own configuration which constantly had to be maintained in sync with upstream, we ship modified versions of the upstream configuration files, which are now automatically split in separate sections during build. This will lead to false positive in configuration file changes, but just this one time, as we transition away from ucf for config file management. . If you are upgrading from versions previous to 2.3.6-5 (in Lenny!), you may have problems migrating your configuration. Make sure you at least hit 2.3.6 packages to have a smooth upgrade as some compatibility bits have been removed. -- Antoine Beaupré Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:28:22 -0500 smokeping (2.3.6-4) unstable; urgency=low The file hierarchy available to the web server has been moved away from /var/www, which was a non-standard location. The recommended way to set up the web part of Smokeping is to use the Apache2 configuration supplied in /etc/smokeping/apache2.conf. This is done automatically on new installations, see the README.Debian file. . Although the upgrade procedure tries to keep old setups working with symlinks, make sure to merge the pathname changes in /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames. Deleting /var/www/smokeping afterwards should be safe if you have no manually added content there. . The recommended URL path to the CGI script is now /smokeping/smokeping.cgi rather than /cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi. The latter should still work through a symlink. . . The default character set in /etc/smokeping/config.d/Presentation has been changed to UTF-8. If you were relying on the former ISO-8859-15 setting, just edit the file to reflect this. -- Niko Tyni Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:17:24 +0300 smokeping (2.3.5-1) experimental; urgency=low The configuration file, /etc/smokeping/config, has been split into subsection snippets in /etc/smokeping/config.d to ease merging of configuration changes. The installation scripts will automatically split the old configuration on upgrades, but the split won't take effect unless ucf is allowed to overwrite /etc/smokeping/config. . This version also includes packaging changes to make the new master/slave functionality work. A new directory, /var/lib/smokeping/__cgi, has been created so that the CGI on a master host can queue up ping results received from its slaves. The main Smokeping daemon will then monitor the queue and update the RRD files accordingly. . Make sure to merge the new 'dyndir' and 'precreateperms' General section variables on upgrades, otherwise the master/slave functionality (and most probably also the old DYNAMIC host functionality) will not work. -- Niko Tyni Sat, 29 Mar 2008 23:39:33 +0200 smokeping (2.0.8-3) unstable; urgency=low When upgrading from Smokeping versions 1.x to 2.x, you may have to edit the configuration file /etc/smokeping/config. The most common incompatibility is that the 'PROBE_CONF' lines are neither needed nor accepted anymore. Simply deleting these lines is sufficient. There are some other small incompatibilities; a list of those can be found in the smokeping_upgrade(7) document. As the Smokeping configuration file parser is now much more strict than in 1.x, the daemon complains about these at startup and refuses to start. (This entry applies to all Smokeping 2.x versions, but was only added in version 2.0.8-3.) -- Niko Tyni Sun, 28 May 2006 22:30:53 +0300
