Solaris 8 package available?

[Andre Dalle]

OK, sounds like folks are happy about software in /opt and the blastwave
stuff, so I will use that.

The package is a convenience for those not interested in compiling and
installing themselves; so I think this is perfectly reasonable.

You can always extract the package and rebuild it if you really want to stuff
stuff in a custom location but don't want to compile...

I don't have time to put this together right away, but if noone else is
interested I'll compile a package compatible with Blastwave's requirements
in a couple weeks time.

My devel platform is 5.8 sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R, using all GNU tools
(cc, make, sed/awk/grep, etc.).

I guess I should build nagios, nagios-plug, and perhaps nrpe as well.
