Harti's notices

List of ideas:

  • SNMPv3
  • Views
  • performance: add timing to the calls to the op_ functions (min, max, mean)
  • MIBs, MIBs, MIBs
  • SMUX ( see SnmpSmux ) and AgentX (tough!)

This is just a list of things to do on our base system make. Actually it's two lists: the first one with the simple stuff, the second one with the hard things and features.

Simple stuff:

  • Warnings for open .if directives are only issued if the .if has evaluated to false. Make it warn always.

Harder stuff:

  • make the .POSIX target working
  • pattern rules
  • use hash tables for variables (I have a patch from jmallet@, it needs some testing)
  • make the MAKEFLAGS environment variable standard conform. This includes fixing the handling of command line variable definitions
  • array processing for variables (check NetBSD's make. It may be already there).
