RFS: sblim-wbemcli - Web-Based Enterprise Management command line client
Hi,
I'm looking for a sponsor for my freshly created sblim-wbemcli package.
Let me quote its long description from the homepage of the sblim
SourceForge project (http://sblim.wiki.sourceforge.net):
The WBEM Command Line Interface is a standalone, convenient systems
management utility for CIMOM access. Invocation and output syntax are
problem-oriented and well suited for interactively inclusion in Shell
and Perl scripts. It is especially suited for administrators writing
their own management scripts or for WBEM developers that want to test
their providers.
WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management) is a successor of SNMP and the
basis of SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative), a standard interface to
storage devices. WBEM itself has a much wider scope, thus more
ambitious projects like OpenPegasus exist, but the single wbemcli module
of the sblim project is enough to monitor disk and RAID states in SMI-S
compatible storage products for example. This is also my actual use-
case and reason for packaging it: using an OS-component in our
monitoring system is much easier than carrying along custom binaries.
wbemcli is also part of the Ubuntu WBEM stack; see for example
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WBEMStackSpec for evaluation of the
alternatives.
The software is released under the Eclipse Public License -v 1.0.
I created two versions of the package. 1.6.2-2 simply extends 1.6.1-1 by
an additional debug package (sblim-wbemcli-dbg). Everything is
available for inspection under http://apt.niif.hu/sblim-wbemcli/.
Comments, questions and sponsors are much appreciated. Actually, I'm
rather uncertain about the header format of the patch gcc4.7-fixes,
which could use two Origin fields due to CVS' inability to export
patches touching multiple files, but DEP-3 does not seem to allow such
construction...
