FreeBSD Port: cacti-0.8.7b

[Daniel Dvořák]

Hi sem,
 
I value your long work for cacti port in FreeBSD and your opinion is well-founded unlike mine.
 
On the 16th of December 2007, you wrote these sentences in UPDATING file about Plugin Architecture:

  Plugin support is dropped again and will not revive anymore in the port.
  A reason for that is the patch is unofficial and there are long time lags
  between a new cacti version released and time when the patch is adapted.
 
It is very pitty for us, becuase we use weathermap plugin to monitor and visualize the current load of our network.
With your commit and after restarting of mysql server, our weathemap plugin is gone, and people ask me why this nice tool is not working. They got used to this nice maps.
 
On the 12th of February 2008, unofficial patch Plugin Architecture have been released as a version 2.0, and it is adjusted or adapted for 0.8.7b cacti, which we have in ports nowadays.
 
Do you think that you could include this patch 2.0 to the cacti back again ?
 
If you are not wellwisher for this, could you advise me how we can get plugins back to cacti ?
 
Thank you
 
Bye
 
Daniel
