Package Devmon as an RPM

[coec]

Would be great if DEVMON was available as an RPM. (Terabithia maybe)

[bonomani]

General ideas

Devmon should support multiple installation

1. Be installed in the same server as xymon
2. Should be installed in standalone: devmon only, without xymon
3. (Should be installed with other opensource app, but is is not ready at all for that)

Xymon dev team (Japheth Cleaver) dixit

(on the Xymon mailing list: https://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2021-August/047689.html)

SNMP has long been a requested service to be integrated more closely with xymon, both for discovery and state. With devmon persisting so long, there's absolutely a case (in my mind) for closer tying into the core. I know this has been a priority (at least v1/2) for a while, especially at installations where agent capability is limited.

My 2 cents comment:

• I dont know if JC was thinking of the official version on Sourceforce or this one....?
• If you want it, let us know: Post on the Xymon mailing ! https://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon
• I reply that I would love to!
  • Including Devmon in Terabithia would be great as it is already packaged
  • This could give to this project some visibility
  • I dont know if the project is ready for that or if it need more developpment (just let me know, waht you think)

Here's a crude but working RPM spec file for Devmon. Works for me but review and possible cleanup required.

Please excuse the file post...
