Hello.
There are several questions.
1) Current net-snmp package has 16 patches in sfw-gate and about 30 in 
upstream userland gate. We should determine which are necessary for 
newer version.

2) Have someone checked that new net-snmp is compatible with 
illumos-gate? It has dependencies from ON.

3) To integrate this package we have to rebuild its dependencies and 
mark obsoleted packages. To mark php 5.2 as obsolete I have to completly 
remove php-idn extension or update it.

However, there are some difficulties with its update
1) it  is no longer maintained upstream
2) part of functions moved from this extension to php-intl extension. 
This one requires icu library. And it is still Sun CC compiled in 
/hipster, so firstly we have to import icu packages from g11n 
consolidation.
