Hi Chaitanya, Ubuntu Focal and Groovy (the current devel version) have net-snmp 5.8, so if I'm not mistaken enabling DTLS can be done by passing a couple of options to the configure script, without patching. In this case I think there are two fronts we can work at:
1. For the next Ubuntu releases (>= Groovy) support for DTLS should ideally be enabled in Debian, and later picked up by Ubuntu when syncing the package. This will streamline the package maintenance on the Ubuntu side and benefit Debian too. I can't find a Debian bug about the lack of DTLS support in the Debian bug tracker [1]. @Chaitanya: do you think you can report a bug against the Debian package and link it here? 2. For Focal: technically we could enable the configure flags and update the package following the SRU procedure [2], but even if it would be a no-patch SRU the implications of it have to be carefully considered, weighting the regression potential. Some more discussion is needed.
