If my assumption is right: Frank, Thanks for your quick feedback. The VARIATION clause for the notification contains only the DESCRIPTION clause. Here is the AGENT-CAPABILITIES construct with the SUPPORTS clause on which we get the error messages: ibmTcpIpMvsAgtCaps AGENT-CAPABILITIES PRODUCT-RELEASE "IBM Communications Server Version 1 Release 4 SNMP Agent" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "IBM Communications Server Agent" SUPPORTS SNMPv2-MIB -- RFC 1907 INCLUDES { systemGroup, snmpGroup, snmpSetGroup, snmpBasicNotificationsGroup, snmpCommunityGroup } VARIATION coldStart DESCRIPTION "A coldStart trap is generated on all reboots." There are additional SUPPORTS clauses that follow the above SUPPORTS clause. Thanks for your help! >Please read RFC 2580. Variations are possible for notifications as well as >for objects.

smilint - VARIATION clause for notification
by Kristine Adamson 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Hello, In an AGENT-CAPABILITIES construct, we have specified the following VARIATION clause for the coldStart trap from RFC1907: VARIATION coldStart DESCRIPTION "A coldStart trap is generated on all reboots." When using smilint against the file containing this VARIATION, we receive the following errors: ./IBMTCPIPMVS-CAPS:250: SYNTAX is not allowed in a notification variation ./IBMTCPIPMVS-CAPS:250: WRITE-SYNTAX is not allowed in a notification variation ./IBMTCPIPMVS-CAPS:250: CREATION-REQUIRES is not allowed in a notification variation ./IBMTCPIPMVS-CAPS:250: default value is not allowed in a notification variation Should we be permitted to specify a VARIATION for a notification? Thanks, Kristine Adamson IBM Communications Server for MVS: TCP/IP Development Internet e-mail:adamson@us.ibm.com

Patches for building when srcdir != builddir
by Harold L Hunt II 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

parser.test.in.diff is for libsmi/test/parser.test.in: Substitutes the @srcdir@ variable during the configure process, then turns that into an $abssrcdir by cd'ing to @srcdir@ and running 'pwd' (very common bit of code). The relative references to ../mibs are now changed to point to something relative to $abssrcdir. This allows the parser test to finds the its files. The test completes fine outside of the source tree. mibs.diff is for libsmi/mibs/* (only touches Makefile.am files): Removes the mkinstalldirs magic from mibs/Makefile.am and replaces it with directory references in each of the individual Makefile.am's, which causes the build script to automatically create the installation directories. Moves the list of files from mibs/Makefile.am to each individual Makefile.am and specifies their installation directory explicitly. This causes the mibs files to be installed correctly when building outside of the source tree. Please apply these to HEAD. I noticed that none of these files have been updated since at least 2000 (I think) and the files in CVS are the same as the files that are in the 0.4.1 release. What are the chances that we could commit these patches (along with a reautotooling so that the shared lib will build on Cygwin) to the 0.4 branch and cut a 0.4.2 release while waiting for the next 0.x release to come out? It would be advantageous for other package maintainers to get these patches in the default source package so that they don't have to build a possibly unstable version from CVS. Awaiting your feedback.

Patches for building when srcdir != builddir
by Harold L Hunt II 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

I am the Cygwin/X (http://xfree86.cygwin.com) maintainer and I am helping someone package libsmi for inclusion in the Cygwin distribution. I came across two instances in the source code that cause the build to fail when srcdir != builddir: 1) The files in libsmi/mibs/[iana,ietf,irtf,site,tubs] are not installed since the shell script magic returns no files in the builddir (the files reside in the srcdir instead). 2) The parser.test fails because the test files and MIBS files cannot be found. I created two patches to fix these problems, hopefully without introducing other problems, that I would like to submit to the project. I have checked the latest CVS snapshot and it does not appear that these two issues have been fixed in CVS already. However, before I submit the patches I would like to know if people are interested in this sort of thing or if I should just sit on the patches. Thanks, Harold

New drop planned?

Hello, Is it planned by any chance a release date for the next version of the library? Not that I'm waiting for any special bug-fixes or something, but it has been a while I guess since the last drop ;) soso ______________________________________________________________________ Do you want a free e-mail for life ?

LIBSMI web site

> are there any problems with the LIBSMI web site? I can load the home page but all the links couldn't be open. Try to add .en at the end of the URLs, e.g first click on "Documentation", be sent to http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/doc.html , get some error message and then add .en in the Addres field of IE like: http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/doc.html.en That works for me.
