• Administrative
  • Release Policy - is RC "show-stopper" threshold still appropriate and define "show-stopper"
  • show-stopper proposal from Bill Fenner: a regression with a fix
  • relax the guidelines on final RCs to final final. "should not change" is a goal, but "changes are allowed if consensus says so".
  • make the current list of showstoppers "examples".
  • add a note about "regression tests that are identified as part of the test suite" as example important failures to consider and discuss
  • add a new CFV item: "stop the release" with a +1 vote being "stop" until everyone revotes for a "start" also requiring a +1 (which is a swing of at least two people)
• Technical
  • Testing
    • discussion in the future may happen as people work on docs
    • tests on older perl systems still problematic
  • Feature Marking and Selection
    • require_one_of(foo bar baz) would be good
    • md5 example:

 #include <net-snmp/features.h>  netsnmp_provide(md5)  #ifdef HAVE_OPENSSL_H  netsnmp_require(opensslmd5)  #else  netsnmp_require(internalmd5)  #endif

• • net-snmp/features.h vs net-snmp/net-snmp-features.h

• Round Table

  • in hardaker.c: netsnmp_feature_provide(features)
  • rstory: DTLS testing and transport documentation
  • TrogL: more solaris to play with
  • tanders: OpenSUSE hopefully
