Seems like I didn't have to chime in. :) Robert Segall is the maintainer... I haven't heard from him in awhile; I know his life is very busy. He has put out v2.7b which is the next beta branch.
I maintain a github project with the source code at http://github.com/goochjj/pound/ Branches of note would be what Andreas posted from the prior thread, reposted here: My suggestion to anyone who needs PCI-DSS compliance is to run my branch here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/tree/stage_for_upstream/v2.7b Zip here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/archive/stage_for_upstream/v2.7b.zip This is based on 2.7b, and includes a bunch of patches that I usually include in pound, to do things like SNI, CertDir includes, IncludeDir, PCRE redirects, etc. If you don't feel comfortable running a 2.7 branch, or don't want to include those patches, I've rolled a new branch: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/tree/pcidss/v2.6 Zip here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/archive/pcidss/v2.6.zip Which includes only the XSRF, SSLv2, SSL compression and cipher enhancements against a 2.6 baseline. My overall goal for Pound is I feel it's a great product that does exactly what it's designed to do, no less, no more. It's stable and I use it in multiple production environments for load balancing and SSL termination. Any features it hasn't been able to do, I've added over the years. It's also a product I'd like to see in continued use, and so I like to help out where I can, adding features, applying patches, keeping things secure (i.e. SSL fixes and such). That's why I maintain my branches... Because I see the merit and I want to be sure people using pound are covered. I'd love to see Pound gain more community support... perhaps moving to github as a primary distro, getting 2.7 polished and out the door and a bunch of things... Right now Robert's the only one we can make those sorts of decisions... and there are some bits that aren't available in releases that would need to be checked in. (things like the autoconf script source) I am by no means the only contributor and it'd be great to wrap more people around the project. As far as support, there are many people on this list who are active with config/production questions as well as code level support, so this project is very much alive. :) Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Andreas Hilboll [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 9:09 AM > To: [email protected] > Cc: Scott McKeown > Subject: Re: [Pound Mailing List] Current development status > > Hi, > > Joe stated the links to updated 2.6 and 2.7 branches in this thread: > > > http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2013/2013- > 04/1367222265000/index_html > > Cheers, Andreas. > > > On 18.06.2013 14:55, Scott McKeown wrote: > > Hi Peter, > > > > Welcome to Pound. > > > > I'm sure that Joe will jump in at some stage with more details but we > > use Pound ourselves and you can find that the community is quite > > active and supportive. > > > > Patches and fixes are normally found being posted to this list which > > if you know some basic Unix commands and you don't mind building > Pound > > from source yourself you can have quite an efficient and productive > > SSL Terminator at your disposal. > > > > If memory serves me correctly Joe does keep a fork somewhere but I > > don't know where it is. > > > > However, once again welcome to the group. > > > > > > ~Scott > > > > > > > > On 18 June 2013 13:45, Peter Shaw <[email protected] > > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > > > Hi pound users and developers. > > I just want to know if there is a acive development on the pound > > project.
