I'm trying to find net-snmp 5.7.1 RPMs for x86_64 CentOS-5, does anyone know of any? (Or Scientific-5, or RHEL-5 or (and I shudder) OEL-5...)
I've tried the usual rpm-find, pbone, Google, and while I find RPMs for F15+ they do not work well either to install or to 'rpmbuild --rebuild' due to missing/uninstallable deps caused by CentOS-5 being very old and/or newer distro releases renaming and/or splitting packages. I also see that CentOS-6 is only at 5.5 and I don't see net-snmp in EPEL at all. Am I missing something? We can get it to *build* just fine, it's the RPMs that are tricky, but my production policy is; *use the package system*, that's why it's there! I've tried to build RPMs myself, but I've run into problems because the CentOS-5 net-snmp 5.3.2 spec file a) has 116 patches and b) is substantially different from both the .../dist/net-snmp.spec and the other spec files I've looked at (F15,16, etc.). I can get the .../dist/net-snmp.spec in the tarball to build, but that does not do things "The Red Hat Way" and I need as drop-in a replacement as possible for init, config and script reasons. Also, I have to install my result using 'rpm --no-deps' for missing Perl module reasons. I don't care about the Perl stuff (though it's a nice-to-have) and I'm obviously doing something wrong with the '--without-perl' stuff because then I can't get it to build right. By the way, the reason I require the upgrade is that my QA folks find that anything older than 5.7.1 sometimes forwards traps twice. I haven't isolated that particular bug either, though I've seen a few possibilities, else I'd try to backport the patch to the stock CentOS-5 version. I also know I need to migrate to CentOS-6 and that's on the radar but it's a ways out and I need to stop forwarding duplicate traps sooner than that. And that uses net-snmp 5.5 anyway, so it's not that big a help. Though probably the F15 or F16 RPMs would be happier there. So is there really no one building and using net-snmp 5.7.1 on CentOS-5? Or have I simply looked in the wrong place or missed something (sorry if so)?
