--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Dear ftpmasters, Please remove ipsec-tools from unstable. It was not suitable to include in buster and we the maintainers don't believe upstream will wake up to improve the package. There are alternatives (strongswan et al) available in Debian. Noah's original explanation from #917847: The package is effectively orphaned upstream and has been for some time. Given the security-sensitive nature of the package, an active maintainer community is essential for safe usage. Racoon's lack of support for IKEv2, despite it being stable for a long time, and the availability of next-generation tunneling systems such as wireguard, also would seem to limit its future value. Setkey's functionality has been subsumed by 'ip xfrm'. Thanks, Chris -- ,''`. Chris Hofstaedtler <[email protected]> : :' : Debian Developer `. `' 7D1A CFFA D9E0 806C 9C4C D392 5C13 D6DB 9305 2E03 `-

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: ipsec-tools | 1:0.8.2+20140711-12 | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x racoon | 1:0.8.2+20140711-12 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x ------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; dead upstream, alternatives available ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to [email protected]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/932144 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
