Hi Wes,

How about upgrading both libtool and automake to the latest available
versions? libtool v2.4.6 + automake 1.11.6 support FreeBSD 10 and MinGW
but the versions endorsed for the v5.8 branch not.

Bart.

Yes, the packaging mechanism does rebuild autoconf based on the last
agreed version that we proposed using.  Which was 2.69.

Maybe we should discuss what the minimum tools available should be for
new releases (again)?

Hi Wes,

One change seems to be missing from this list, namely commit
9a2753282c6a ("new autoconf"). That commit regenerated the configure
script with autoconf v2.69. Has it been considered to also switch to
newer versions of automake (v1.11 -> v1.16) and libtool (v2.4 ->
v2.4.6)? I have to reapply several patches manually after every
autoreconf run to fix bugs in the old versions of these tools. One of
these patches has been documented on
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Build_System.

Thanks,

Bart.

net-snmp-5.8.1.pre2 released

2020-02-20 Thread Wes Hardaker via Net-snmp-coders


After far far too long of a delay, I've just pushed net-snmp-5.8.1.pre2
to the download site:

https://www.net-snmp.org/download.html

Please give it a whirl, and report issues and fixes to our github site
at:

https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp

Current changes to 5.8.1.pre2 total:

*5.8.1*
snmplib:
  - Add IPv6 support to DTLSUDP transport
  - use new netsnmp_sockaddr_storage in netsnmp_addr_pair
  - add base_transport ptr for tunneled transports
  - Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.1
  - Dtls: overhaul of debug
  - Remove inline versions of container funcs

snmpd:
  - Use ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS when available Newer Linux kernels
support ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS. Use it when available instead of the
older and deprecated ETHTOOL_GSET. This patch avoids that the Linux
kernel reports the following kernel warning: warning: 'snmpd' uses
legacy ethtool link settings API, link modes are only partially
reported See also https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/patches/1387/.
[bvanassche: reworked this patch significantly]

snmptrap:
  - BUG: 2899: Patch from Drew Roedersheimer to set library
engineboots/time values before sending

snmptrapd:
  - Add support for the latest libmysqlclient version

libsnmp:
  - Scan MIB directories in alphabetical order This guarantees that
e.g. mibs/RFC1213-MIB.txt is read before mibs/SNMPv2-MIB.txt. The
order in which these MIBs is read matters because both define
sysLocation but with different attributes.

unspecified:
  - [BUG 2930]: Fix a Solaris hrSWInst crash Avoid that snmpd crashes
on Solaris when querying software packages with an empty CATEGORY
field. See also https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/bugs/2930/. See
also https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/patches/1390/.

Win32:
  - BUG: 2779541 Fixed handle leak in pass_persist.
