I have added an updated version of usmStats.
Things that I had troble with:
* How to update README.agent-mibs when using the old/new feature?
I settled for adding a new line for the updated version.
* As it is now the list of excludes will be forever growing. Is
there an interest in a config_provides(interface-name)? [1]
* Module initialization names - when making a new module then a
new module name is needed and that changes the external
interface of the agent. (-IusmUser vs. -IusmUser_5_5) [2]
* I chose to add this as a config_old_require - I think that
config_new_require should be used to merge this into V5-4 etc.
save that config_new_require is missing there.
* The fact that the new version is added means there is no diff
towards the old version in the version control system.
[1] The semantics I see here is that every module provides itself, so
snmpv3/usmStats.c implicitly config_provides(snmpv3/usmStats)
while snmpv3/usmStats_5_5.c config_provides(snmpv3/usmStats_5_5)
and thus have to contain the line
config_provides(snmpv3/usmStats_5_5)
The point of this is that all modules that config_provides the
same symbol are config_excluding each other.
[2] Here it is possible to imagine a config_something that changes the
name of the initializer symbol, and as a matter of fact
config_provides from [1] is a likely candidate for this name
change.
It should be noted that this requires updates to net-snmp-config
as well if implemented.
/MF (Who have snmpMPDStats_5_5.c waiting but would like some feedback
first)
