Note that there are no net-snmp patches from me (yet) because I don't know how you wish to proceed. I'd suggest reading zero byte files from a directory to populate the HR MIB. The necessary changes are quite straight forward, and are mostly net- snmp autoconf related. But the "traditional" approach, teaching net-snmp AutoFu to handle 3 (yes 3!) variant rpmlib API's can be done too. I can/will attempt patches as soon as I know which of the two approaches is desired for net-snmp. My goal here is to get rpm-5.x unmasked in Gentoo by permitting Gentoo builds of net-snmp (and sussen, which also should be using zero byte files in a directory to identify which packages are installed imho)) not otherwise. hth 73 de Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
