I suspect that Thomas was asking for guidance on what should
be done in the immediate future, rather than more significant
(and probably longer-term) design changes.
Currently, we seem to have votes for:
[ ] reorganize the libraries ....
[1] reorganize the agent ....
[ ] build [stripped down] libnetsnmpagent
[1] have --disable-agent build *just* libnetsnmpagent
[1] have --disable-agent disable snmpd *and* snmptrapd
[ ] <your own suggestions>
FWIW, the original *intention* of --disable-agent wrt. snmptrapd seems
to have been:
[x] build snmptrapd without agent code
See the following snippet from apps/Makefile.in:
# hack for compiling trapd when agent is disabled
TRAPDWITHAGENT = $(USETRAPLIBS) @AGENTLIBS@
TRAPDWITHOUTAGENT = $(LIBS)
But I don't think it ever worked. CVS log of apps/Makefile.in tells the
same interesting story:
----------------------------
revision 5.10
date: 2004/03/09 15:55:39; author: rstory; state: Exp; lines: +12 -3
separate traplibs from agent libs for dependencies
----------------------------
revision 5.9
date: 2004/03/09 00:09:09; author: rstory; state: Exp; lines: +4 -4
use app libs for snmptrapd when agent disabled; move wraplib substitution to
a more reasonable place. snmptrapd still doesn't link, but it's closer...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
----------------------------
revision 5.8
date: 2004/03/04 17:43:19; author: hardaker; state: Exp; lines: +4 -1
- fix building trapd when the agent isn't being built
----------------------------
So should we try to complete what has been started back then?
