Hi! Bird2 fails to start after upgrade to 2.18.1 with the following error message: /etc/bird/bird.conf.d/bird-pmacctd.conf:1:10 syntax error, unexpected CF_SYM_UNDEFINED Content of the file is: protocol bmp pmacctd { station address ip 127.0.0.1 port 17917; monitoring rib in pre_policy; monitoring rib in post_policy; tx buffer limit 64; } Downgrading back to 2.18 (apt-get install bird2=2.18-cznic.1~trixie), without touching the config, lets bird2 start again. I can't find the build log in Gitlab to check if the configure option was omitted, nor anything in the NEWS file. Kind regards, Srdjan
Hii, sorry, you are right. We have updated our build infrastructure for cross-builds and forgot to apply a patch for that to our stable branches. Will rebuild and update the packages during this week. Thanks for letting us know and happy routing, David David Petera (he/him) | BIRD Tech Support | CZ.NIC, z.s.p.o.

Hi Srdjan, I have just published fixed builds, please check that bird2=2.18.1-cznic.2 is now available for you. That was an error on our side, which is now rectified. BMP should now be available again in all our packages, except for 2.17.x where we don't expect to enable it. Thank you for your report and patience. Happy routing! Maria
