Hi, during discussion with Thomas Anders about the .spec file in SVN we found out few possible improvements, which need more discussion on this list.
Fedora splits Net-SNMP to many subpackages - net-snmp (the server), net-snmp-utils (the clients), net-snmp-libs, net-snmp-perl, net-snmp-devel and net-snmp-gui (for tkmib). The rpms we distribute at SF.net download page are split differently and do not force removal of the Fedora packages, i.e. Fedora's net-snmp-utils won't get removed when user installs our net-snmp.rpm. The easy solution is to add Conflicts: and Provides: statements to our .spec to clearly replace Fedora packages. Question is, whether we want such Fedora-only dependencies in the .spec. And another question is what about other distros - quick look at Mandriva shows, that they have completely different packaging of Net-SNMP. Second issue is that most distributions provide sample configuration file in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. Why don't we distribute one?
