06_extramibs.patch - which adds the Gnome MIB - touches on something I have pondering - how should a distribution add MIBs? On Debian we have this patch. On RedHat Net-SNMP ships one heap of MIBs and libsmi ships another, slightly different, heap of MIBs - when one wish to depend on MIBs present in one but not the other set things becomes interesting. I do not know where one should even discuss this issue as it touches on integration of multiple projects in multiple distributions. _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
