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)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
