  • Next Meeting Date
    • June 7th

    • 5.2.x -- dts12
    • 5.4.x -- dts12
    • Combined notes for the above:
      • Been delayed due to windows testing
      • rc3 versions just released
      • Full versions this friday?
    • 5.6 -- hardaker
      • would like to start 5.6.pre1 end of next week
      • hardaker has a patch for internal openssl support to commit
      • '''dts12 has the desire to make a HAL-based FileSystem modules (reworking of hr_filesys and ucd/disk) before 5.6 so it can be default in 5.7
    • Release Testing
      • hardaker will try and hack together a testing results mailer before 5.6.pre2
      • dts12 suggests default to mailing (with prompt) for .pre and .rc and default not to for full releases
    • Binary Releases
      • need to bring binary releases up to date
      • need to document how to do anything
      • We should fill out Release Instructions with how-to type information
      • We need to:
        1. to document things in Release Instructions
        2. to build things more frequently, and possibly assign archicture "builders" if possible
        3. create a new download page that describes how the packages were actually built
  • Administrative
    • Test server updates
      • Now serving TLS/DTLS support on port 10161 and 10162, which is the IANA assigned ports
  • Technical Discussions
    • Test infrastructure -- hardaker
      • portability -- sub-tests shouldn't require execution from the full test suite
      • perlability -- perl required for full suite at the moment
      • documentation -- coming this week
      • random statements by hardaker; discussing Harness requirements
    • Whether or not the triple build infrastructure should be unified to a single build infrastructure.
      • Anyone have time to look into feasibility of other config systems?
      • No one has; moving to cmake would be painful (but maybe worth it) and it still wouldn't be a complete solution
    • Net-SNMP V5 get/set request handler documentation 1.
      • old taken off yet?
      • We need a architectural description of the handler system
      • tabled due to time
  • Tabled entirely due to time:
    • 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 ?
  • Round Table -- What are ya up to?
    • magfr: fix up the transport dependency information, remove UDP/IP requirement
    • rstory: (D)TLS in the agent
    • hardaker: (D)TLS in the library and testing
    • dts12: releases and hardware/fsys
    • tanders: catching up on nightly builds, OBS builds/packages
