Well, I had 2 choices for a problem reported the Friday before a release candidate was to be shipped. Release broken code, or provide a simple fix. And we haven't shipped a final version (we're note even in rc mode yet), so there is nothing academic about the discussions at all. I am surprised, however, at objections to what I consider such a small change. Renaming a variable and moving it into the agent library isn't a big deal. And fixing an infinite loop seems to be a no-brainer as well.

Also note that we are still in the 'pre-release' phase, and pretty much all changes related to a bug fix are fair game, so I think indignation is a bit of an overreaction. I also think I've been pretty good lately at paying attention to input and being pretty flexible. Hopefully you've seen at least a minor improvement.

This is one of the reasons I suggested we move to 5.2.3.pre instead of staying with the rc name. But I was overruled that time. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie Support: <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-coders> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
