My opinion is that Net-SNMP actually doing a suburb job. Good enough that vendors are shipping it embedded (a la OpenSSH into Cisco and HFUX) Moreover, even if tickets cannot be immediately solved/closed, they should still be documented to eliminate unnecessary duplication of reporting / coding / testing efforts. Having a 15% open bug ticket rate does in no way reflect poorly upon a project. Conversely, having a 60% NFR ticket rate reflects favorably upon a project -- representing tangible interest in future development efforts and illustrating the need for additional developer human resources. All of that is abstracted from the actuality of developers writing / testing / documenting code -- the code will be written regardless -- but 1) the chances of 3rd parties contributing patches back in and 2) the R&D overhead of the development process, which the ticketing system only serve to simplify. ~BAS > Cheers, > -- jra ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
