Package: snmp Version: 5.9+dfsg-3-silo Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: oev...@sciencelogic.com
Dear Maintainer, This is my first Debian issue report. Blumenthal AES, in spite of being a 'draft' part of the SNMP Standard, is becoming widely implemented by many vendors. It is the main way to have strong encryption in connection with SNMPv3. Debian should include the --enable-blumenthal-aes option added around line 53 of debian/rules so that it is used when invoking the ./configure script from the upstream source package. My organization is patching the rules and building our own binaries in order to enable this configuration, but I think this change would be useful to the community at large too. I would submit a patch myself but I can't easily figure out where/how to do this.
