I would like to see java support added as a use flag to the net-snmp ebuild so that when USE="java", building net-snmp would also install net-snmpj. It would also be satisfactory to me if net-snmpj was added as a separate ebuild, but ideally, it should be installed as part of the net-snmp ebuild, dependent on USE flags. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: java use flag added to net-snmp
That's an altogether differnet package. http://netsnmpj.sourceforge.net/
What could (and probably should) be done here is for net-snmp to RDEPEND on net-snmpj if the java use flag is set. If someone can do the ebuilds, I'm sure eldad or I will be able to get to it :). Who knows, by the time I finish typing this, eldad may be done....
i see no activity upstream for a year. resolved: won't fix?
the gods in #gentoo-netmon have spoken upstream being inactive/dead is apparently not a reason to "resolve: won't fix" things, so i suppose i will get my lazy self over there and write an ebuild for it.
On a cursory glance, the only upstream distributions are binary only (0.2.5-beta explicitly says this, while a look in 0.2.1 appears to also be binary, especially the .so file within the linux-386 subdirectory of the tarball). The source code reference on the homepage refers to the SF CVS page, which means this would have to be a CVS ebuild. Not sure what the herd wants to do with it. -Jeff
Feel free to reopen it when you have an ebuild
