get in contact with the guys at opensource.is and unifying their fork of check_yum with this one

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There have been some additions by Pall Sigurdsson at the trac repo here:
http://opensource.is/trac/browser/nagios-plugins/check_yum/

These add support for RHEL/CentOS 6 output from the yum check-update command, 
which has been updated to be more grammatically accurate.

Since this is the repo linked to from Nagios Exchange 
(http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Operating-Systems/Linux/check_yum/
details), it should probably be brought up to date.

Whoops, should have checked the source first.

Please close this issue.

Hi Stephen.

Sorry for the late reply. I somehow got not notified about the issues here (or 
simply oversaw it).

As far as I can see, these changes are already in the git HEAD here, right?

Nevertheless, are you in contact with Pall Sigurdsson and the guys from 
opensource.is?
I'd prefer if there was only one canonical location where check_yum development 
took place.
I'd be absolutely happy to welcome them as admins for this Google Code project, 
or even hand over maintenance, if they want to take over the burden. :)

Retitling the issue accordingly.


Cheers,
Chris.

No, I'm not in touch with them, I just saw that there were two places this code 
was being held, and 'one true repo' is best coding practice, so I figured I'd 
bring it up.

As far as the original issue (CentOS 6 compatibility) goes, both have been 
updated, and I don't think any other changes have been made over there, so the 
divergence is small.

I got in contact with the guys from opensource.is and for some reasons they 
need to keep their own "fork" until this version of check_yum would get 
accepted as package into Fedora.

I personally won't purse inclusion in Fedora, so for I close this issue as 
WontFix.

I'll try my best to keep the guys from opensource.is informed about local 
changes to the source and hope they'll also submit their changes here.
