Hello. New net-snmp release came out, problem still persists, even worse because src package is currently nowhere to be found so one can't build the missing net-snmp-package. Any news on this? Or is there any valid reason for the (already produced package when the build is made) not to be published in the CentOS repos that I'm missing? This is quite frustrating... And it's extremely odd that no one else is having issues, as it is extremely odd that no one cared to reply to this issue. Is there so many little sys admins out there that need net.-snmp-perl or just don't bother to update their Centos 8 systems? Or is still everyone using CentOS 7 (even though 8 came out almost 1 year ago already) and using CentOS 8 in production is just a crass mistake? Best regards. |

To anyone interested, found the SRPM here: http://vault.centos.org/8.2.2004/BaseOS/Source/SPackages/net-snmp-5.8-14.el8_2.1.src.rpm Just rebuilt it and confirm that it still produces thenet-snmp-perl-5.8-14 rpm with no problems, but that rpm still isn't published on the CentOS 8 repositories (hence the bug report, which seems to be a deployment issue on the CentOS 8 build system). So, is there any hope that is fixed for this and future releases? Best regards. |

Hello, This also affects me - and probably everyone else who tries to use CentOS8 as a monitoring platform. Can please someone look into and address this? It's quite cumbersome do have to manually track and build and publish a rpm every time a new version is released. As the reporter said, this did not happen on previous CentOS releases so this should be look at as a regression. Thank you. Best regards. |

First off .. all packages built for CentOS Linux 8 come from git. If we built it, you can get the src from here: https://git.centos.org/rpms/net-snmp/commits/c8 and using the get_sources,sh and / or into_srpm.sh scripts from here: https://git.centos.org/centos-git-common/tree/master Also .. the latest SRPM should be here: http://vault.centos.org/8.2.2004/BaseOS/Source/SPackages/ The next step is to see if that package is in RHEL 8.2 .. if it is not, it will also not be in CentOS. Being produced but excluded from RHEL will also mean exclded from CentOS for CentOS Linux 8. |

If you look here: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:3012 It is not in RHEL-8. |

From comments here, it should be in RHEL-8.3, so it should be in CentOS-8.3: https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3450972 It is currently available in CentOS Stream here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/net-snmp-perl-5.8-17.el8.x86_64.rpm This should work fine on CentOS 8.2 if you download it and install it, or you could move to stream if that is more appropriate. |

Many thanks guys for the enlightenment. Let's hope RedHat doesn't mess up in RHEL 8.3 then :) Hopefully they won't publish any newer net-snmp releases until then, but we'll use the mentioned workarounds in the meanwhile. Perhaps this can be marked as solved? (I'm not finding any option to do it) |
