Hello first let me say thank you to everybody who worked and still works on this codebase for such a long time. While I feel there is still the need for many people to have this software packaged in Debian and Ubuntu I'm quite sure I'm not the right man for doing it anymore. The current situation is that openswan got kicked out from unstable and testing while the versions in oldstable and stable seem to be broken by a security upload. While I planned to do a transition to libreswan I had to realize that I'm not using IPSec anymore and that I also lack the time and the computing power to work on such a big task. As the freeze for the next Debian release is approaching (https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html) I think that if people are interested in getting openswan or libreswan or both back I do not want to block them anymore by standing in the path so I sent this mail both to the openswan and to the libreswan developer mailing lists as well as to the official package maintainer Rene Mayrhofer. As I'm not subscribed to the lists anymore please keep me in CC (at least for communication about handing over my agendas).
Kind regards Harald Jenny _______________________________________________ Swan-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreswan.org/mailman/listinfo/swan-dev
