Did this come out of "gmake newpkg-ganglia"? Static gspec-files are  
generally
discouraged and you can safely delete this line.

If you set PACKAGES you overwrite the default, which would be  
CSWganglia.
That means you only build the above packages, not CSWganglia. If you  
want
to build that also you must add that.

It is customary to have a base package which actually does something.  
What
would that be in case of ganglia?

You can just set
   TEST_SCRIPTS =

Additionally, please do not write rules above the include as the first  
rule
is the default which should build the package.

For a first attempt this is quite good :-)

If you need help on any of the above topics just ask.
