We try to collect significant open issues for the 5.4 release cycle here. Please add your contributions/comments and fix as much as you can!
| Issue | Bug/patch | Comment | Assigned to |
| snmptrapd partial oid matching | Patch 1536773 | introduce partial oid matching for traphandle, e.g. "traphandle someOID* /call/on/subtree/matching" (completely rewritten by Wes and now requires a -t flag). It's in pre1. | hardaker |
| no perl/agent/Support/Makefile | - | With some perl versions "make perlmodules" will not create perl/agent/Support/Makefile from Makefile.PL, so the build will fail (e.g. on Solaris 8 with system-supplied Perl). Fixed in pre1. | hardaker/tanders |
| smarter "enable embedded perl by default" | - | Only enable embedded perl if it will successfully compile later on. Partly implemented in pre1, but some important problems (e.g. Solaris, see below, or minimum perl version) still need to be detected. | hardaker/tanders |
| Solaris perl<->host issues (due to largefiles) | Bug 1486366 | Solaris system-supplied Perl is compiled with largefile support. The very same options break the build of the host module, though. (This will not be fixed by 5.4 (Wes)) | ? |
| UCD-SNMP-MIB::systemStats | - | Reported to be broken on some systems (Solaris, some RHEL Linux machines). Breaks "make test" (CPU test on Solaris, snmpwalk test on Linux). | dts12? |
| 64bit nlist | Bugs 1485321, 1484814, 1388562 | nlist fails on 64bit systems (AIX, IRIX, Tru64). We need 64bit capable auto_nlist replacement routines. Every system has its own variant and changes are needed all over the net-snmp code. :-( | tanders |
| ifTable transient interface handling | Bug 1238981, Patch 1513191 | offer an (per-interface) config option how transient interfaces are handled in ifTable (same or different). A List FAQ. | rstory? |
| Suppress error messages on SIGHUP | ? | Remove the annoying, but harmless error messages on SIGHUP | rstory? |
| fix perl compiler warnings | - | There are a number of nasty compiler warnings for the perl modules that needs to be dealt with. | hardaker/tanders |
| libnetsnmphelpers linking trouble | - | In contrast to 5.3.x and earlier, the new "as needed" linking scheme has introduced problems when linking in libnetsnmphelpers on a number of platforms (HP-UX, RH9, RHEL2.1). Some happen during "make install", some during "make". | ? |
| pre/rc version numbers | - | 5.4.pre1 gets rewritten to 5.4.0.1 in net-snmp-config which breaks the perl version checks and the default build. See -coders. | hardaker? |
| Windows build broken | - | 5.4.pre1 doesn't build on Windows (as reported by Alex) due the recent changes to the transport code (patch 1282566) | Alex_B? |
