• Next Meeting Date
  • July 19th
• Releases
  • 5.2.x -- dts12
    • is out!
  • 5.4.x -- dts12
    • is out!
  • 5.6 -- hardaker
    • pre1 this week
  • Release Testing
    • hardaker hasn't made progress on the results mailer yet
    • It would be a good idea to mention the output mailer in the pre1 release announcement
    • Wiki page would be a good idea: Test Results with subpages per release
    • hardaker has a reference to a build/package system he needs to look into that may be like the old SF build system that went away
  • Binary Releases
    • Still need to fill out the Release Instructions webpage
• Administrative
• Technical Discussions
  • Test infrastructure -- hardaker
  • Whether or not the triple build infrastructure should be unified to a single build infrastructure.
    • EG, CMake
    • hardaker has a plan to extract the module changing and header generation functionality to an external script so that people can just run the header generation scripts without running full configure
      • Ideally it should be called from configure, but it could also be inline-sourced in both locations
  • Net-SNMP V5 get/set request handler documentation [1].
    • Real issues:
      1. man pages and online copies are often out of date
         • hardaker will try to add more automation to the release generation script near 5.6 publication
      2. no high-level tutorial about how the internal of the agent works
      3. tutorials need more data
      4. many man pages are too small or useless
         • Dave will come up with a list of potential man page changes/cut-list and post to -coders
  • 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 ?
  • "Zero compiler warnings" policy for 5.6+?
    • Thanks especially to Bart, we're down to very few compiler warnings in trunk. Shall we adopt a "Zero compiler warnings" policy from now onwards (not applying to 5.5.x and earlier), meaning that newly introduced warnings need to be fixed ASAP?
• Round Table -- What are ya up to?
