I had a conversation on IRC a couple weeks ago about the lack of radiusd-freeradius packages, with yet another Debian developer who was using freeradius in the wild. Since ISTRT system administration is purportedly the second most common occupation of DDs, and we have at least four DDs following the development in some capacity (this freeradius user makes five), my feeling is that we ought to put our heads together, stop maintaining our own private binaries, and get some packages out there (even unofficially) to save on duplication of effort. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
