+
+# How do I modify NagiosMIB?
+
+Nagiosmib is a set of MIBs for Nagios to allow traps sent from Nagios to be
+recognized by other NMSes.
+
+To develop, the requirements are:
+
+* make
+* smistrip and smilint, part of the [libsmi project][libsmi]
+
+On Debian, you'd run:
+
+    apt-get install smistrip smitools
+
+If you get errors like:
+
+    ./MIB/NAGIOS-ROOT-MIB:4: failed to locate MIB module `SNMPv2-SMI'
+    ./MIB/NAGIOS-ROOT-MIB:6: failed to locate MIB module `SNMPv2-TC'
+
+then you are missing some prerequisite MIBs.  These need to be installed from
+the libsmi project.
+
+Currently there are some warnings such as:
+
+    ./MIB/NAGIOS-ROOT-MIB:35: warning: current type `NotifyType' is not referenced in this module
+    ./MIB/NAGIOS-NOTIFY-MIB:153: warning: use Integer32 instead of INTEGER in SMIv2
+
+These are probably okay.
+
+To change the MIB information, update the `src-mib` directory and run `make`
+to generate the MIBs.  Run `make` `test` to check.
+
+Update the `CHANGES` file and commit.
+
+To release, change the version number in the `Makefile` and run `make`
+`tarball`.  Publish the tarball and md5sum.  Create a news story on this site.
+Link back to here from the tarball release.
