Plugins3

Hey @drewkerrigan:

Would you mind if this plugin was included in nagios-plugins 3 as a plugins-python/contrib kind of thing?

I have some cool ideas in mind to make the next major release pretty awesome, and I'd like to start with this plugin!

What are your thoughts?

Absolutely, let you know what you need from my end!

I'll be addressing some of the open PRs today as well.

I guess the idea I have is to maintain contrib plugins as git submodules in nagios-plugins repo. The problem here is merging upstream - we almost need to fork each of the projects we use so that we can push to it from within plugins (during version updates) - which would allow us to open up PRs as well.

But this seems pretty complicated for just grabbing some plugins from the innerwebs. Any better ideas are welcome!

It's either that, or we just copy the plugin to a python/contrib folder and hope to remember to update it when we issue releases.
