Bug#883393: ITP: jool -- Open Source SIIT and NAT64 Translator for Linux
> Any progress on this? Do you need help packaging? Hello. upstream author (and perhaps future upstream maintainer as well) here. I've been working on this since June 17 (2019). I have Jool packages seemingly working properly, and recently finished scanning the Debian Policy Manual, making sure that they comply with it. I was just about to start reading the Debian Developer's Reference. I haven't started looking for a sponsor or whatever it is that I'll need, yet. Not much of a due date, I know, but maybe it should give you an idea of where I'm standing and the speed at which I'm working. Some help would be nice, but I don't know what I'll need in the near future yet. Cheers, Alberto

Just a short Update: * The license issue seems to be solved. * Starting with 3.5.6, all future versions will be licensed under the GPLv2 license. * Details: https://github.com/NICMx/Jool/issues/258 Bjørn

Thanks Bjoern, I am building and using jool on Debian. Your effort is really appreciated. Benda

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Bjoern Buerger * Package name: jool Version : 3.5.5 Upstream Author : Jool Dev Team * URL : http://jool.mx/ * License : GPLv3+, GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Open Source SIIT and NAT64 Translator for Linux SIIT mangles packets, simply replacing IPv4 headers and IPv6 headers. Stateful NAT64 will enable you to run multiple IPv6 client nodes behind a few IPv4 addresses. Jool is an Open Source implementation of IPv4/IPv6 Translation on Linux which aims to be fully rfc-compliant, building a bridge between IPv4-only and IPv6-only networking nodes. I consists of two kernel modules and a set of corresponding userspace tools. See http://jool.mx/en/intro-jool.html#compliance for details. --- Relevance, Maintenance, License --- Jool is one of the newer implementations for SIIT/NAT64 and has a small, but active user community (see https://github.com/NICMx/Jool). It was funded by NIC Mexico and co-developed with ITESM. I use it in several networks and it seems to be a viable solution to provide IPv4 connectivity to IPv6-only networks. Depending on the client device you can use NAT4/DNS64 odr 464XLAT and therefore have a smooth transition from IPv4-only to IPv6-only networking. There is some dkms support available in the source package, but it clearly needs some love, since e.g. quite old versions of the debian helper tools are used and the userspace code is currently not packaged at all. I am currently discussing details with the upstream authors, including the current license situation. Jool is currently licensed unter GPLv3+, leading to an incompatibility with the linux lernel GPL2 (only). Upstream is currently discussing a license change for that matter, so it might take some time before we can actually start uploading packages. Since this will be my first debian package, I'd like to start maintaining the package with the help of a sponsor. Bjørn
