== Theme - Patches ==

The focus of this meeting continued looking at items that have been submitted to the
[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12694&atid=312694 Patches tracker]
but have not yet been either accepted or rejected.<BR>

== Patches discussed ==

This meeting considered various patches, mostly concerned with particular
MIB module code within the agent.  The patches covered were:

* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=312694&group_id=12694&aid=2103492 2103492]	 ''2008-09-10''<BR> Implementation of etherStatsJabbers defined in RMON-MIB
** '''Jan to investigate and test''' (customer requirement)
* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=312694&group_id=12694&aid=2082726 2082726]	 ''2008-08-29''<BR> fix 10GigE overflow
** Seems OK
** '''Jan to apply'''
*** fixed & applied, SVN rev. 17263
* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=312694&group_id=12694&aid=1985491 1985491] ''2008-06-05''<BR> snmp2ptp daemon
** Judging by the tracker comments, probably not useable as it currently stands, but need to look at the actual code
** Status of the underlying MIB is unclear - appears to be related to work in the IETF TicToc WG
** Would the effort be better off put into (e.g.) implementing the NTP MIB?
** '''Dave to investigate'''
* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=312694&group_id=12694&aid=1927751 1927751] ''2008-03-27''<BR> Update icmpMsgStatsTable, Take IV
** Extends the table to add missing OIDs, but introduces significant changes to the data collection code
** '''Jan/Dave to look more closely at the patch, and consult again'''
* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=312694&group_id=12694&aid=1797111 1797111] ''2007-09-18''<BR> Better support for ipIfStatsTable
** Seems OK, but really needs further testing (esp. on Solaris)
** '''Jan to apply to trunk''' (and wait for feedback)
*** applied, SVN. rev. 17260
* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=312694&group_id=12694&aid=1712645 1712645] ''2007-05-04''<BR> meaningful log message on duplicate IP address
** Basic functionality already applied
** Outstanding issues relate to the filtering of warning messages
*** Should such library routines return an error indication, rather than issuing a log message?
*** Should such log messages be warnings or debug indications?
** '''Jan/Magfr to come up with a proposed patch'''
*** Magfr's patch is already in, only logging changes needed (done, SVN rev. 17255-17256)
