rpmbuild nagios-3.5.0

[frank]

Just speaking for myself here, in my experience distro-level packaging 
usually isn't part of a project's goals and can be an extreme distraction 
considering the vast number of distros out there, all with their own 
little quirks. Spec files and other contrib items work their way into 
source trees and are useful until the 3rd party API changes and the 
original maintainers lose interest. I'd look into the checkin history of 
the spec file to see if anyone has been making regular updates. Or even 
easier, go get the SRPM from EPEL, which is known to work, and alter it as 
you see fit for your purposes.
