I'm happy to announce official 2.0 packages for Enterprise Linux 6.
The packages are available via EPEL, a repository maintained by Fedora people, carefully crafted to augment RHEL, CentOS or Scientific Linux. These packages follow the same packaging rules as original RHEL packages. They therefore aim to be the best fitting you can get. Due to EPEL's stable policy, the package is called "zabbix20" instead of "zabbix" and can't be installed in parallel.
# yum install zabbix20
Bugs are tracked on bugzilla.redhat.com. Please don't try to contact me here, but rather via this tracker or on Freenode IRC (volter) or volker27[at]gmx.at.
The packages include a file called zabbix-fedora.README. It explains what changed between 1.8 and 2.0 package and what is specific to Fedora/EPEL. Among others, it explains why the Java gateway is not in. Feel free to vote on the tickets below, if that is important to you.
