Changes for version 4.0509050201 - 2026-07-28
- Fixes the CPAN Testers install failures reported against 4.0509050200: the bundled SNMP / NetSNMP::* modules now honor INSTALL_BASE, PREFIX, DESTDIR and local::lib, instead of failing with "Permission denied" wherever the install target was not writable at build time
- Built for the perl that ran Makefile.PL, not the first perl on PATH
- Installs a net-snmp header that was silently dropped on Linux and aborted the build outright on FreeBSD and Solaris
- Fixes installation on macOS, where the bundled SNMP and NetSNMP::* modules could not load libnetsnmp during make test
- Fixes installation on Alpine and other musl systems, which failed the same way
- Installs two more net-snmp headers that upstream ships but forgets to install, without which nothing can compile against this Alien on FreeBSD 15 or 16
- New documentation for the bundled Perl modules, MIB handling and the index files net-snmp 5.9 removed, the command line utilities, and the effects of installing into a system perl that already has SNMP.pm
- 4.0509050200 installed net-snmp's Bundle/MakefileSubs.pm and an auto/Bundle/NetSNMP/.packlist beside it. This release installs neither, but upgrading does not remove the old copies; they are safe to delete
- Known issue: On FreeBSD 9 the link of libnetsnmp fails with "undefined reference to 'ceil'"; the suspected fix (LIBS=-lm) is untested and not applied
