Accessing Source Packages
To access a source package, you will need to setup the Opsview repository and then download the package based on the OS. The instructions below assume opsview-watchdog, but you can replace with any of the packages above.
Creating and Modifying Source Packages
You can build from the source packages based on your OS by following the instructions below. This will compile the original third party software, apply our changes to them and create a package, either debian or RPM, for installation.
Note
Opsview Ltd does not test nor support packages created in this way.
Debian Source Packages
On a fresh Debian system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts debhelper
- If building opsview-external, also run
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev
- If building opsview-external, also run
- Add our repository:
curl -sLo- https://deploy.opsview.com/6 | sudo bash -s -- -O repo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opsview-setup
- Update apt sources to include the sources repository list by editing
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/opsview.list
and changingdeb
todeb-src
sudo apt-get update
- As a non-root user, run
apt-get source opsview-watchdog
, which will download and expand the source package in your current directory cd opsview-watchdog-*
- Now run
make package
- Additional build dependant packages may be required.
- On Ubuntu 18 systems, if
/usr/bin/python2
is not present, this step may fail. In that case, you can create a symlink:sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2
to proceed with package building.
You will have the deb file in the directory above.
RPM Source Packages
On a fresh RPM platform:
sudo yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config perl-TimeDate yum-utils
- If building
opsview-external
, also runsudo yum install python-devel

sudo yum install opsview-setup
yumdownloader --source opsview-watchdog
to download the *.src.rpm filesudo rpmbuild --define "__arch_install_post /bin/true" --rebuild *.src.rpm
