While RPMs exist for Fedora core for the latest Net-SNMP, nothing exists for
the RHEL 6 or CentOS platforms
that I am aware of. The Fedora based RPMs are not compatible with RHEL 6
or CentOS 6.
This is for a Net-SNMP subagent implementation. RHEL 6/CentOS is frozen to
Net-SNMP v5.5.
Therefore, I considered creating RPMs on the RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 platforms
using the SPEC file
provided as part of the Net-SNMP source code distribution.
While I was successful in building the RPMs (using make in the /dist
folder), the 4 RPMs generated
do not have familiar content matching those of the more formalized Red Hat
distributions, nor
binary distros from the Net-SNMP site.
The 4 RPMs generated are as follows:
1. Net-snmp-5.7.1-1.x86_64.rpm - contains binaries, init script config
files, and shared libraries
2. Net-snmp-debuginfo-5.7.1-1.x86_64.rpm - debug libraries
3. Net-snmp-devel-5.7.1-1.x86_64.rpm - static libraries
4. Net-snmp-perlmods-5.7.1-1.x86_64.rpm
Contrast these RPMs from the Net-SNMP binaries for v5.6, which was split
into
The base Net-SNMP distro, utils, python, perl, libs, gui, devel, etc.
Can someone comment briefly on the new distribution philosophy as I have
captured in
comparison to legacy RPM bundling.
For example, does item #1 equate to the base Net-SNMP RPM plus development
RPMs?
Which are considered optional from the perspective of an application running
as a subagent
(i.e. the debuginfo or perlmods RPMs)?
