Build inquisitor on newer debian release #1

I would like to build inquisitor on a newer debian release (stretch), but I get some problems during the build as many files are not available on the servers anymore and also some dependencies need to be defined first. I might want to start fixing those bugs but before I start with that, I would like to know if there is a newer version of inqusitor somewhere? I also doubt that I can build the client using a current debian version, because of the systemd changes.
thanks in advance!

As far as I can tell, Inquisitor was effectively forked several times, each major organization that got an working installation had its own fork deviating more or less from the main code. For example, ETegro had their fork published, but the code was never merged back, and the company is now defunct. If I'm not mistaken, organizations like Netberg continue to use and maintain their own heavily modified forks.

This git repo is probably the latest publically available version, and there are still 2 not quite finished branches in it, i.e.:

  • rails4, an effort to port web app to Rails 4 (which is already 5 years old as of now)
  • live_debian, an effort to update it to newer Debian infrastructure (more than likely hopelessly outdated anyway)

If you want to resurrect / update Inquisitor to run on modern systems, you'd be more than welcome, I believe.

thanks for the information! I'll try to build a working version and then see what I can do next.

Feel free to ask if any questions would arise (and most likely, they would) ;)
