O'Brien --- (In reply to Kajetan Staszkiewicz from comment #0) I am glad that there is some apparent activity in the wider world surroundi= ng PySNMP. Thank you for calling our attention to it. As much as I have worried about the abandoned state of the project, and abo= ut its long-time author and maintainer, Ilya Etinof, this new project does not instill much confidence as a proper successor. At least not yet. The GitHub organization claims that "This organization has no public members.", the new project has disabled GitHub issues, and there have been only three active committers since Ilya's last tag on 2019-09-24, v4.4.12, one of them eviden= tly a bot, the others ostensibly in the employ of Splunk. The initial impression I get is that Splunk relies on PySNMP internally, and made the decision to allocate sufficient resources to mitigate its own risk with respect to an abandoned project. The fact that at least some of those commits appear in a public GitHub project is a nod to the wider PySNMP community, and for that I am grateful. Nevertheless, this is clearly not a healthy, thriving successor project at the moment. I will be happy to prepare a patch to switch net-mgmt/py-pysmi over to the = new upstream. I will also be thinking carefully about whether this port is one I should continue to maintain and depend upon. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
