* Why has SNMP support been disabled?
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
FRR used to link against the NetSNMP libraries to provide SNMP
|
||||
support. Those libraries sadly link against the OpenSSL libraries
|
||||
to provide crypto support for SNMPv3 among others.
|
||||
OpenSSL now is not compatible with the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL)
|
||||
licence that FRR is distributed under. For more explanation read:
|
||||
http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html
|
||||
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs
|
||||
Updating the licence to explicitly allow linking against OpenSSL
|
||||
would requite the affirmation of all people that ever contributed
|
||||
a significant part to Zebra / Quagga or FRR and thus are the collective
|
||||
"copyright holder". That's too much work. Using a shrinked down
|
||||
version of NetSNMP without OpenSSL or convincing the NetSNMP people
|
||||
to change to GnuTLS are maybe good solutions but not reachable
|
||||
during the last days before the Sarge release :-(
|
||||
|
||||
*BUT*
|
||||
|
||||
It is allowed by the used licence mix that you fetch the sources and
|
||||
build FRR yourself with SNMP with
|
||||
# apt-get -b source -Ppkg.frr.snmp frr
|
||||
Just distributing it in binary form, linked against OpenSSL, is forbidden.
