This option should only be used for systems that do not have systemd, e.g. Ubuntu 14.04. -* 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. - - * Debian Policy compliance notes ================================
