get check_yum included in monitoring-plugins
The Nagios plugins package already contains a check for the APT package
management system.
As YUM is also quite widespread (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux) it
should become part, too.
Could become difficult, as apparently most (all?) plugins there are written in
C, not in Python.

It seems that Fedora will switch from YUM to DNF as package manager, which
makes it likely that eventually RHEL/CentOS/SL will also migrate to it.
Therefore including check_yum into nagios-plugins is no longer high priority.

- Changed state: New
- Added labels: Priority-Low
- Removed labels: Priority-Medium
As it will take many years till all old RHEL/clones systems with yum are gone I
find it worth to include check_yum in nagios-plugins. It won't hurt anybody and
help everybody who still has such systems running.

Well... to be honest, the time I can spent for check_yum is quite limited...
not only due to the fact that I consider yum/rpm broken by themselves...
Also I guess it would need a proper C/C++ rewrite to get it into the nagios
plugins.
