No more EVA?

[Casper]

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for your advice.

I would like to see a good event and alarm solution in OTP, since I think
it's a most important part in a system. It'll be really helpful, if you can
advice me what're the other event and alarm solutions you hinted below, so I
can see to integrate them and can give back to the community, if it'll be
any use.

Cheers,
Eranga

Hi,

The Eva application was withdrawn from the R10B release because:
- we knew that no commercial user (i.e paying) was using it.
- we did not know any open source user using it (but we have heard of some
after the decision)
- Eva needs to be updated due to dependencies to snmp which has got small
changes
  in the API's and we did not think it was worth the effort since nobody is
using it.
- There are other event and alarm solutions that could be included in OTP
some day if
  the interest is big enough.
- If someone really need Eva it should be easy to take Eva from R9B , 
do some minor corrections
and run it together with the rest of R10B.
