Collectd does not support ping and dns plugins
The collectd build log package reports that ping and dns are not built because of missing dependencies.
Indeed, ping requires the liboping package (provided in testing on Alpine edge). And dns requires the libpcap package. (So for building they would require the *-dev respective packages).
How should this be solved? Should the build process for collectd be changed or should there be collectd-ping and collectd-dns packages created?
I could help but as I have never contributed to Alpine and I’m rather new, I would need some pointer to get started.
