Next Meeting Time
- Apr 19
Releases

- 5.4.x -- dts12
  - shooting for early-to-late April depending on responses (rc1 -> final, vs rc1 -> rc2 -> final)
- 5.6.x -- hardaker
  - reminder: last time was "probably; confirm this time"
  - vote result: 3 +, 2 o+, 0 -
Administrative Issues
- Note: Test server -- back on line
  - dts12: could -c public return "read the documentation"?
Coding Issues
- RPM API compatibility issues -- jsafrane
  - resolved in current code (thinks so)
  - issue on debian
    - Will change logic to librpm && linux to be less optimistic about what's on the system
- UCD-SNMP OID registration issues -- magfr
  - nothing new
- Multi-core CPU issues -- TrogL
  - Trogl not present
  - likely stalled indefinitely?
- agent threads / child processes (see bug 2959811 and bug 2959812)
  - will implement using a socket fd and a select() watch
- HP/UX support? several messages in January about configure/make failing
  - no one has hpux boxes.
  - dts12 may have one?
- processing invalid messages (see mail)
  - requestId and similar aren't checked for data type
  - asn_parse_int() is only called for ints, but asn_parse_unsigned() is called for uint, guage, etc so type can't be checked there
  - Where do we check for the type?
  - Choices"
    1. ignore the whole thing
    2. put it inside asn_parse_foo (which may not be possible)
    3. put it above each call
    4. create new functions called asn_parse_and_check_int() wrapped around the lower call.
  - voting produced mostly support for #2 with fallback to #4 or #3 for dtls12
  - likely to come back after further research
- hrStorage indexes (see mail thread and bug 1689551)
  - dts12 and jsafrane will look into a solution for changing ID numbers
- Testing -- Hardaker
  - compile everything in dir with every lib, or separate dirs for separate libs?
  - stalled but nearing top of todo list
  - Build a basic framework, as simple as possible - and see what happens
Round Table
- hardaker: (d)tls, config and testing
- bartvanassche: agentx default on windows to use localhost:705
