[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#727675: nagios3: Nagios3 source package could provide a nagios-dev or nagios-headers package

[Carl Chenet]

Source: nagios3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

In order to build a platform-dependent project related to Nagios, I need some headers files from the nagios headers (nagios.h and config.h specifically, this last one being generated dynamically by the ./configure of Nagios itself). Could it be possible to ship a nagios-headers or nagios-dev packages with these files and more generally the nagios headers?

Looking around, I saw that packages include directly these files in the sources of the package (see the check-mk package, in livestatus.tar.gz).

Thanks,
Carl Chenet
