[ARGUS] argus-clients and mysql8

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Michael,
The issue is that you may want to build your own argus-clients, so you would want to install the includes and the libraries in a local space, like most other packages.  It may be that building from tarfiles is the preferred way ???

If the maintainer has some suggestions, I’d love to address them for the 3.0.8.4 release !!!
