Packages are not stripped to enable the http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/IntegrityTest suite. > Which of the many packages do you need in main? Just strongswan, > libstrongswan, strongswan-ike, strongswan-plugin-openssl, and > strongswan-starter? (those are the packages that get installed with > "apt-get install strongswan") Ideally, I'd like to see a lot more than that; a bunch that come to mind are: lookip, pkcs11 (smartcard backend [and we know from experience how much fun openvpn is with smartcards]), and the TNC (http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/TrustedNetworkConnect) components which can tie into Secure Boot. > There are a lot of debconf questions and you say that strongswan > has no working config from the get go? Does the user just > dpkg-reconfigure to set it up? I decided to remove the debconf pieces and just provide a commented out base template configuration file as debconf was much hassle than it was worth. OpenVPN also doesn't provide a base configuration/debconf. > Strongswan (and unbound / ldns) all need a team bug subscriber. > What team will look after these in main? Looking at OpenVPN / BIND, I would say that this is the server team's realm. > As for unbound, I'd also be interested in an assessment of how bad bug 988513 is. This sounds like the 'these packages are [...] highly opinionated about "correctness" over "compatability"' that Seth was referring to. > It's just there so we can build a couple optional plugins of strongswan. I'd rather we enabled as many plugins as possible so that people don't have to recompile the source every time we leave out a plugin they need. > Could we split some of the strongswan plugins into their own source? That'd be a question for upstream, but it would make the package maintenance easier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1266066 Title: [MIR] strongSwan To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldns/+bug/1266066/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
