  • 5.6 -- hardaker
    • would like to start 5.6.pre1 end of next week
    • hardaker has a patch for internal openssl support to commit
    • dts12 has the desire to make a HAL-based FileSystem modules (reworking of hr_filesys and ucd/disk) before 5.6 so it can be default in 5.7

    • dts12 suggests default to mailing (with prompt) for .pre and .rc and default not to for full releases
  • Binary Releases
    • need to bring binary releases up to date
    • need to document how to do anything
    • We should fill out Release Instructions with how-to type information
    • We need to:
      1. to document things in Release Instructions
      2. to build things more frequently, and possibly assign archicture "builders" if possible
      3. create a new download page that describes how the packages were actually built
• Administrative
  • Test server updates
    • Now serving TLS/DTLS support on port 10161 and 10162, which is the IANA assigned ports
• Technical Discussions
  • Test infrastructure -- hardaker
    • portability -- sub-tests shouldn't require execution from the full test suite
    • perlability -- perl required for full suite at the moment
    • documentation -- coming this week
    • random statements by hardaker; discussing Harness requirements
  • Whether or not the triple build infrastructure should be unified to a single build infrastructure.
    • Anyone have time to look into feasibility of other config systems?
    • No one has; moving to cmake would be painful (but maybe worth it) and it still wouldn't be a complete solution
  • Net-SNMP V5 get/set request handler documentation [1].
    • old taken off yet?
    • We need a architectural description of the handler system
    • tabled due to time
• Tabled entirely due to time:
  • Perl
    • NetSNMP::agent regression test 5 fails [2].
    • Status of CPAN (5.4.1)
  • jsafranek: hrFSTable and hrStorageTable persistent indexes - partially implemented in new host/hrh_filesys.c and hardware/fsys/*, but I miss some pieces :(
  • Cygwin --enable-shared build [3]: only possible if the circular dependency between libnetsnmpagent and libnetsnmphelpers is resolved -- see also [4]. What is the status of this last issue ?
• Round Table -- What are ya up to?
  • magfr: fix up the transport dependency information, remove UDP/IP requirement
  • rstory: (D)TLS in the agent
  • hardaker: (D)TLS in the library and testing
  • dts12: releases and hardware/fsys
