This is the meeting agenda/notes for the Meeting held on 2010-11-29.

Date and Time: 2010-11-29 20:00 UTC


Agenda

  • Next Meeting
    • Jan 3rd
  • Releases
    • 5.6.1 (starting today)
      • short 1-week turn around times
    • 5.5.1 (aim for Jan)
      • will start .pre1 a week or two after 5.6.1.pre1
    • 5.3.4 (post 5.5.1)
  • Administrative
    • Policy reminder on changes from last meeting
    • Patch applying pain during a release?
      • cross release patches should be applied at the same time/revision, ideally
      • release on one branch breaks this (or delays applying stuff)
      • Results:
        1. Live with it
        2. use more branches (create a new branch just for the release, off the existing -patches branch)
      • Live with it
    • IETF Report
      • KSM is probably going to resurface; hopefully with code contributions
      • power management is doing a lot of work too
  • Technical
    • Unit tests
      • Wes got trounced in the last month and didn't write the promised documentation
      • bvassche has been creating lots of tests
      • tabled until next time when Wes can get docs written
    • autoconf vs the world
      • still no takers on doing the work
    • stream lined/stripped-down
      • work under way to make a "read only" code set using an ifdefs (along with a script to actually remove it as well)
      • thinking about multi-pass compile for really-reduced code. Something like sample at bottom.
  • Round Table

feature possibility thinking

Marking of features. Standard configure/make would always produce 1 for these ifdefs

// will only compile if needed by something else
NETSNMP_BEGIN_FEATURE(counter64)
... code ...
NETSNMP_END_FEATURE(counter64)
// something else says it's needed
NETSNMP_REQUIRE_FEATURE(counter64)

Adding an extra "make reduce" or something would turn them into real ifdefs
