We have an svn-repo with some mib-files. For humans it is usable to keep files in subfolders:

MIBS
 +VendorA
   +MIB1.txt
   +MIB2.txt
 +VendorB
   +MibN.txt
...

Users can update or add MIBs with Tortoise clients. Servers should update their working copies themselves by cron.

But snmpd does not support subdirectories, from man-page:

/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/

The agent will also load all files in this directory as MIBs. It will not, however, load any file that begins with a '.' or descend into subdirectories.

Is it possible to sync files from repo without containing folders?

Thanks for any feedback!

SVN externals of file-type + hand-work. I.e

  • Create in the same repo special checkout-only folder (outside /trunk, probably)
  • Map every "virtual" file inside folder to real file in MIBs-tree
  • Maintain link-list in actual state (new MIBs must be added to definition, deleted - removed) - probably can be automated by post-commit hook
  • SVN-users with flat-MIBs requirement have to checkout URL of FLAT folder
