Hello Ferenc,

I have followed your suggestion and tried packages from "deb
http://apt.niif.hu/debian jessie main" on a clean couple of jessie VMs. I
admit that I have been in a hurry, and had some problem pinning my way
through stretch, ppa.mmogp.com (I found no way to avoid using it), and the
latter. I may have been silly, but I did not take time searching for past
hints on how to properly mix the whole.
I considered https://wiki.debian.org/Debian-HA/ClustersFromScratch as a
base, and troubleshooted my way on from that. If you have, or can point at,
more updated versions of such a document, I will for sure make use of it. I
currently am somehow freezing my usage to what is available on ppa.mmogp.com,
so I cannot guarantee to be able to proceed in testing more recent
versions, but having some documented procedure to do so may help tip the
balance.

Despite unexpectedly ending up with pcs instead of crmsh (I never used it
before), I have made some simple tests with a ClusterMon resource like the
one Stephane (and I) use, and I can confirm that all forms of crm_mon seems
to work correctly (I tested e-mail, SNMP traps, and external agent
functionality). I hope that the process of building the HA stack for jessie
will take into account the apparent need of using some upstream updated
code if crm_mon notification functionality is considered critical.

Thank you again for your help.
