Planning work on net-mgmt/py-snmp4{,-apps,-mibs}

[John W. O'Brien]

Hello FreeBSD Python,

I am unable to reach the maintainer of these ports by email because his
MX is 553ing me. While I wait for my unblock request to be processed by
his huge, faceless ISP, I wonder if I could get some feedback on the
following from the list?

I'm planning to contribute a short sequence of separable changes to the
PySNMP ports.

1.  Rename all three ports to match their upstream names per the Python
ports policy [0]. This will include adding entries to MOVED and chasing
the name change in any dependent ports. See bug #204567 [1], r401898 [2]
for when we did this with devel/py-pyasn1.

    => Is bumping PORTREVISION really necessary for dependent ports in
addition to registering in MOVED?

2.  Upgrade net-mgmt/py-pysnmp to the latest version (4.4.8).

3.  Replace net-mgmt/py-pysnmp-apps with net-mgmt/py-snmpclitools 0.6.1
[3]. Register in MOVED.

I will go ahead and submit #1 in a day or so if I haven't heard back.
