            Bug ID: 238434
           Summary: net-mgmt/cacti: new upstream version available (1.2.4)
                    and required changes
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest

There is a new upstream Cacti version available, 1.2.4. I worked with the
upstream maintainers to incorporate changes related to the current port opt=
ion
SNMPBIN into Cacti. The upstream changes are a more complete implementation=
 of
the ability to disable the built-in PHP-SNMP module, and can be enabled via=
 a
configuration option $php_snmp_support =3D false; added to config.php.

The SNMPBIN option is no longer necessary, since the same functionality is =
now
more completely implemented in Cacti itself (the SNMPBIN option still fell =
back
to the PHP-SNMP module in some cases.) As a stopgap, the SNMPBIN option cou=
ld
be modified to display a deprecation warning and change the default value of
$php_snmp_support to true.

I also propose that the dependency on the PHP-SNMP module be made optional.=
 I
do not need the PHP-SNMP module for any other packages on my system, and ha=
d to
work with the upstream maintainers to introduce the $php_snmp_support option
because the port insisted on installing the module. If the module were not
mandatory (and indeed it is not required by Cacti itself), then I would not
have needed to force disable the PHP-SNMP module.

I understand that not all users have full control of their environment, or =
may
have other ports installed that require the PHP-SNMP option, hence introduc=
ing
the new configuration option.

Thanks!
