Issue	Bug/patch	Comment	Assigned to
smart "enable embedded perl by default"	-	Only enable embedded perl if it will successfully compile later on. We currently just --enable-embedded-perl by default.	hardaker/tanders
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?
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)	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))	?
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
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)	hardaker
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
