snmptrap/trapsess send to port 161 |

error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1) |
Provide a more meaningful log message for duplicate IP addresses instead of spamming the log continuously. |

OSX embedded perl broken |
Bug 1377478 |
Embedded perl (and sometimes even the perl modules) seem to fail silently (and for unknown reasons) on OSX for some people, but not all. |

Linux CPU stats |
Bug 1600261 |
Broken for Montavista Linux on XScale/ARM and possibly others. See bug description. Regression over 5.3.x. |
? |- align=center bgcolor=lightyellow |
64bit nlist |
nlist fails on 64bit systems (AIX, IRIX, Tru64). We need 64bit capable auto_nlist replacement routines. Every system has its own variant and changes are needed all over the net-snmp code. Stop-gap fix is specifying --without-kmem-usage which is now possible since 5.4.rc2. |

Solaris perl<->host issues (due to largefiles) |
Bug 1486366 |
Solaris system-supplied Perl is compiled with largefile support. The very same options break the build of the host module, though. |

ifTable transient interface handling |
offer an (per-interface) config option how transient interfaces are handled in ifTable (same or different). A List FAQ. |

Reported crashes in mteTrigger.c |

Suppress error messages on SIGHUP |
? |
Remove the likely harmless, but annoying error messages on SIGHUP. A List FAQ |
rstory?/dts12 |- align=center bgcolor=lightyellow |
library layering |
Consensus seems to be to extend --enable-as-needed for 5.4.1 rather than 5.4 and come up with a proper configure test for 5.5. --Thomas. Full analysis / Work in progress |

fix perl compiler warnings |
- |
There are a number of nasty compiler warnings for the perl modules that needs to be dealt with. List provided to hardaker. (http://pastebin.ca/196857) Dave has flagged three issues as potentially important after review (see list). Full fixes for SNMP.pm are in 5.4.x CVS. |

OSX CPU stats |
Patch 1600522 |
Neither cpu_sysctl (preferrable?) nor cpu_nlist compile on Darwin. rc1/rc2 ship cpu_null for Darwin. To be investigated! At least it doesn't seem to be a regression over 5.3.x, based on rstory's snmpwalk output for darwin7/8. A new cpu_mach.c has been supplied as a patch after rc3! |
dts12/rstory/jalbert |
The following issues have been identified and fixed during the 5.4 release cycle.

man page aliases |
- |
The man page aliases are regenerated at each make invocation. Fixed for 5.4 final.(?) |
hardaker |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
MSVC workspace build |
- |
RFV in progress to fix Win32 MSVC Workspace build. Fixed for 5.4 final.(?) |
Alex_B |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
net-snmp.spec |
- |
dist/net-snmp.spec simply doesn't work as-is. Fixed for 5.4 final. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
snmplib/system.c #elif |
Bug 1598927 |
RFV in progress to fix #elif bug in snmplib/system.c as introduced by rc3. Fixed for rc4/final. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
snmptrapd -A |
Bug 1587759 |
RFV in progress to add "-A" to list of valid snmptrapd options (implementation already there). Fixed for rc4/final. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
UCD memory inconsistencies II |
- |
RFV in progress to address inconsistencies wrt. memTotalFree and memSwapError{,Msg}. To be considered for rc3. Currently at +2 for Dave's original patch. |
dts |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
missing IP scalars in snmpwalk |
Bug 1554989 |
snmpwalk doesn't show IP scalars on all platforms! |
rstory? |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
OpenBSD4 system header |
- |
See 9/26 and 9/27 irc logs; openbsd4 uses openbsd.h, and thus a lot of openbsd3 code that most likely works on openbsd4 is excluded. |
? |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
notifications over TCP broken |
Bug 1571945 |
The recent patch for the UDP/IPv4 response IP address broke other transports. See the bug report for a decent analysis. |
? |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
UCD memory inconsistencies I |
- |
Should 'memAvailSwapTXT' and 'memAvailRealTXT' report the amount of memory free, or the amount used? The MIB object name implies one, the description the other! Inconsistently implemented in 5.3.x. Implemented as "free" in 5.4.x. |
dts |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
sed issue II |
- |
On Solaris 2.6/7 "configure --with-mib-modules=if-mib,udp-mib,tcp-mib" yields into an empty Makefile. Looks like the previous sed issue, but now the "@mibgroup_list_o" list is getting too long. Wes has created a fix and is now at +3 at least. Fixed for rc2. |
hardaker |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
proxy tests fail for TCP |
- |
"make test TESTOPTS='-P tcp'" fails for the proxy GET/SET tests. Skip proxy tcp tests in rc2. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
UCD memCached.0 |
- |
RFV in progress to re-add memCached.0 on Linux/FreeBSD. Fixed for rc3. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
configure perlcc detection broken |
- |
RFV (2 character patch) posted to fix perlcc detection. Fixed for rc3. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
add missing manual pages |
- |
Six manual pages that were missing have recently been committed. RFV accepted to add them to the build process. Fixed for rc3. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
nlist build issues |
- |
RFV in progress to properly protect the nlist code in snmplib/system.c to allow for --without-kmem-usage (e.g. on IRIX). Fixed for rc3. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
FreeBSD cpu_nlist hang |
- |
5.4.rc1 on SF CF machine x86-freebsd1 (FreeBSD 5.4) hangs badly in cpu_nlist initialization, even on a simple "snmpd -H". Fixed for rc3. |
dts12 |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
SNMP.pm MIB code broken on 64-bit |
- |
"make perltest" fails on all 64-bit platforms in t/mib.t. Fixed for rc3. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
snmptrapd partial oid matching |
Patch 1536773 |
introduce partial oid matching for traphandle, e.g. "traphandle someOID* /call/on/subtree/matching" (completely rewritten by Wes and now requires a -t flag). |
hardaker |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
no perl/agent/Support/Makefile |
- |
With some perl versions "make perlmodules" will not create perl/agent/Support/Makefile from Makefile.PL, so the build will fail (e.g. on Solaris 8 with system-supplied Perl). |
hardaker/tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
pre/rc version numbers |
- |
5.4.pre1 gets rewritten to 5.4.0.1 in net-snmp-config which breaks the perl version checks and the default build. See -coders. |
hardaker/tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
Windows build broken |
- |
5.4.pre1 doesn't build on Windows (as reported by Alex) due the recent changes to the transport code (patch 1282566). |
Alex_B |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
make perltest |
- |
Currently fails on perl/SNMP t/notify test (tests 7, 9, 10). It should pass perfectly in order to be able to use it for regression testing. |
tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
python binding |
- |
Initial python binding (just client-side get/set/walk etc.). |
hardaker/jmarzot |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
smarter "enable embedded perl by default" |
- |
Only enable embedded perl if it will successfully compile later on. |
hardaker/tanders |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
Solaris 5.9 build broken |
Bug 1569150 |
-Usolaris2 -Dsolaris2=solaris2 doesn't seem to work properly. |
dts12 |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
UCD-SNMP-MIB::systemStats |
- |
Reported to be broken on some systems (Solaris, some RHEL Linux machines). Breaks "make test" (CPU test on Solaris, snmpwalk test on Linux). |
dts12 |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
OpenBSD/FreeBSD/Solaris if-mib rewrites |
- |
the suggestion in the NEWS file, --with-mib-modules=if-mib, doesn't work. Need a way to have configure pass NETSNMP_INCLUDE_IFTABLE_REWRITES during module processing/compilation. Add --enable-mfd-rewrites (see updated NEWS). |
rstory |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageIndex |
- |
Indexes have been re-ordered from previous versions. Have we justified this/notified users of this change? |
dts12/bshaw |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
Solaris 2.6/7 configure sed failures |
- |
On Solaris 2.6 and 7 configure reproducibly fails with "Output too long" and "sed: garbled command" errors from sed during configure's AC_OUTPUT for mib_module_list_h. This list is extremely long (>6500 chars on my Linux build) causing trouble on many systems :-(. |

manual pages |
quite a few manual pages currently ship with explicit XXX - to be filled in for 5.4 final. |

missing tests |
We're currently missing tests for at least: disman/event monitoring, snmpvacm extensions, snmptranslate, snmpusm DH stuff, snmptrapd walk, ... |

README.smux |
Very old. Updated for 5.4 final. |
tanders/sfriedl |- align=center bgcolor=lightgreen |
README.solaris |
Outdated in many regards, e.g. the complains on disman/event. Improved for 5.4 final. |
