- Upload permissions
- dts12: Just a quick note - when creating a release
directory, please make sure it's group writable.
- the mkdir should possibly go into the release
script?

- Administrative
- Release Policy (http://www.net-snmp.org/dev/release-policy.html)
- rcN series generally goes well
- preN series is generally ignored in terms of the
guidelines; this needs to be fixed
- turn around times for a release are far too long
- branch should still be created at final
- pre-release series *must* get more locked down
- policy stays the same. We as a group need to enforce
them.
- we'll switch to 1-week turn arounds for preN)
- if no changes since the last preN then likely do a
rc1
- Technical

and unit tests

agent
