[Maintain] Returning to maintain

[Greg Connor]

Hi Maintain folks,

I haven't used Maintain in a long time, though I did use it heavily (and
contributed some patches) some years back (before 3.0).

I'm now checking it out again for use at a new company, and I have a
couple questions.

First, building dns seemed to work (after I figured out
installing/enabling the module) but building dhcp and vmps doesn't seem
to work correctly out of the box. Building DHCP gives this error, and
doesn't produce anything in build/ dir:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: host in
/opt/maintain-3.0.0/modules/build_dhcp/build_dhcp.php on line 101
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: host in
/opt/maintain-3.0.0/modules/build_dhcp/build_dhcp.php on line 102
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: host in
/opt/maintain-3.0.0/modules/build_dhcp/build_dhcp.php on line 103
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: host in
/opt/maintain-3.0.0/modules/build_dhcp/build_dhcp.php on line 104
and vmps doesn't seem to do anything at all... no error messages and no
output in build/ dir.

My other question is, we currently have "shared-network blah {" in our
dhcpd config but I'm not sure how to get this information entered into
Maintain, or if it will be supported. (Some subnets exist on the same
vlan, so they need this construct for dhcp to work properly).

I'm also wondering how things are going in general for Maintain? Is it
still in active use at OSU? I notice there hasn't been a release in a
while and the docs wiki has some "We should update this" type of
comments. I could probably self-support our installation here, but if
there's no recent dev activity I would be concerned about adopting
Maintain for our environment long-term.

Thanks
gregc

To sum up what Greg said...
is maintain maintained?

How ironic if it weren't :)

Hm, I sure hope it is. Last time I checked, it was still under active
development.

Maintain3, ironically, has no maintainer at this time.

The best advice I could give you is to check out the latest version
from SVN. If you like Maintain, and aren't scared of fighting through
some outdated documentation, there are vast bugfixes and feature
additions in between the last release and the current version in SVN.
(Tons of bug and security fixes, support for newer libraries (PHP5,
for one), native BIND support as well as TinyDNS...)

A bunch of Maintain ex-developers (like myself) still keep an eye on
this list. If you run into any problems we would be more than happy to
help you out with them, but again I would suggest using the version in
SVN as your starting point as many of the issues you will be running
into with the latest release have undoubtedly been fixed.

svn co https://trac.osuosl.org/svn/maintain-project/trunk will get you
what you need to get started.
svn co https://trac.osuosl.org/svn/maintain-modules/trunk will get you
some very useful modules.

I had to setup maintain on a new server because the old one (running
maintain 3.1) crashed to death.
The database was on another server and could be reused.
I checked out the latest version from SVN and ran into this error:

When I want to create a new host I get the following Form Error:
"IP Address The specified IP is not in the current zone"

This not true...I checked it twice. To be sure that everything is correct
with the database I set up a new clean one and created everything from
scratch. But when I tried to create the first host the same error occured.

Any Ideas?
