A massive patch that implements the following feature:
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_Marking_and_Selection
is being committed at the moment. Michael Baer (baerm) and I have been
working on it for about 3 months or longer in an offline git
repository. Originally I was hoping we could commit it in smaller
chunks, but 'git svn' really doesn't like merges, branches and trees
just like Dorothy doesn't. So, it's going in as a huge commit (at least
it'll be easy to reverse if need be).
The upshot summary:
- it's "alpha" at the moment and cleanup and finishing are still in
progress.
- the end goal is that --enable-minimalist should turn off any code
that isn't required for the system to compile.
- the system has compile-time re-analyze support, but the one critical
caveat of this is that you *can't run make -j3* or similar, because
the code files need to be analyzed in order. If you want to run the
actual compile with -j3, use "make features; make -j3" instead to
split it into two halves, where the second half is safe to run in
parallel. (there is no problem unless you're using
--enable-minimalist; IE, normal mode hasn't changed).
- There is also a --enable-read-only flag that removes SET support
from the code base. This provides both a reduced code set and a
layer of no-writability for the security paranoid that want to
remove SET support. Not every mib is instrumented for this at this
point but the rest will be soon.
- There are some new scripts in local/minimalist to support this
- still to do:
- more documentation (though the wiki page is a good start)
- better hierarchy of the feature labels
Send complaints and suggestions to -coders and we'll read and respond to
them :-)
