  • Administrative Issues
    • Note: Test server -- back on line
      • dts12: could -c public return "read the documentation"?
  • Coding Issues
    • RPM API compatibility issues -- jsafrane
      • resolved in current code (thinks so)
      • issue on debian
        • Will change logic to librpm && linux to be less optimistic about what's on the system
    • UCD-SNMP OID registration issues -- magfr
      • nothing new
    • Multi-core CPU issues -- TrogL
      • Trogl not present
      • likely stalled indefinitely?
    • agent threads / child processes (see bug 2959811 and bug 2959812)
      • will implement using a socket fd and a select() watch
    • HP/UX support? several messages in January about configure/make failing
      • no one has hpux boxes.
      • dts12 may have one?
    • processing invalid messages (see mail)
      • requestId and similar aren't checked for data type
      • ''asn_parse_int() is only called for ints, but asn_parse_unsigned() is called for uint, guage, etc so type can't be checked there
      • Where do we check for the type?
      • Choices"
        1. ignore the whole thing
        2. put it inside asn_parse_foo (which may not be possible)
        3. put it above each call
        4. create new functions called asn_parse_and_check_int() wrapped around the lower call.
      • voting produced mostly support for #2 with fallback to #4 or #3 for dtls12
      • likely to come back after further research
    • hrStorage indexes (see mail thread and bug 1689551)
      • dts12 and jsafrane will look into a solution for changing ID numbers
    • Testing -- Hardaker
      • compile everything in dir with every lib, or separate dirs for separate libs?
      • stalled but nearing top of todo list
      • Build a basic framework, as simple as possible - and see what happens
  • Round Table
    • hardaker: (d)tls, config and testing
    • bartvanassche: agentx default on windows to use localhost:705
