Hi,
I've got a server running FreeBSD-7.1 release. And I want to eventually get all the X ports off it. databases/rrdtool requires some of them, as noted in a previous post about its obscene amount of dependencies. net-mgmt/mrtg version 2.17.0,1 is installed and appears to be using rrdtool installed version 1.4.5, though I don't see an explicit dependency listed. The
is specified in /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg.
Is it possible to de-install rrdtool, then install databases/rrdtool10 as a drop-in replacement? Would the new working directory be /var/db/rrdtool10 ? Any chance it might really be that easy?
Update: /databases/rrdttol10 installs into same location /var/db/rrdtool. Initially mrtg couldn't append to the existing database files. Renaming the existing files seemed to solve that. I didn't need the history..
