If you were to read over the old archives of this list, you would discover that the maintainer of the opennms port has serious reservations about putting it into the port tree because as opennms is currently configured in 1.8 you can lose historical data when you do an upgrade. There is a bug filed against opennms upstream about this. This same issue makes getting opennms into debian problematic as well. I don't know the bug number off the top of my head. > > OpenNMS is fantastic. I've replaced multiple monitoring tools with > this one.

The problem is with a "bug" in opennms. http://issues.opennms.org/browse/NMS-3541 is the issue that I can come up with off the top of my head, I think there might be a second issue. I would expect opennms 1.9 to make it into the port tree. Could make it into the ports tree.
