Agenda

  • Next Meeting Date
    • Mar 15th
  • Releases
    • 5.2.x -- dts12
      • Dave is deleday due to work. Will likely do one more pre-release
    • 5.4.x -- dts12
      • Dave is delayed due to work. Will likely do one more pre-release
    • 5.6 in May/June?
      • Wes proposes this
      • difficult but ok to shoot for -- Wes
      • discussion surrounding "what's in it"
        • isms support among other things
      • No real objections, but no real support either
      • result: probably; confirm next time
  • Administrative Issues
    • Wes reminds that we backport patches to all branches possible, but only fixes (no features).
  • Coding Issues
    • RPM API incompatibilities
      • 5.[2-4] has issues with RPM
      • jsafrane suggests you probably need -D_RPM_4_4_COMPAT
      • jasfrane will look into the problem
    • Noting the new Command Line Calling Order page -- Wes
    • Transport changes likely coming soon
      • Resulting from TLS work mainly
      • Changes involved:
        • auto-transport detection and inclusion
          • similar to mib modules now
          • signficinantly more re-use
        • Configuration passing
        • possible split of transport object creation to actual opening
      • more config changes described to transports passing "up" an identifier to load for read_config
        • ie, snmpget -G noc ... localhost ... would load localhost.conf followed by noc.conf in the [snmp] contexts
    • magfr's frustration with OID registrations and his hopefully-this-time solution proposal
      • no progress
    • TrogL's multi-core CPU monitoring
      • not available today
  • Testing infrastructure and supported releases
    • Wes' proposal from a few meetings ago
      • hopefully a proposal in march
      • unit and API tests
      • Magfr: need a robust C-code based test system
    • Dropping MSVC 6.0 -- bartvanassche
      • agreed
  • Future Directions
  • Other Issues
  • Round Table
    • Wes: transports, TLS, ISMS, hopefully a testing harness
