Re: Deprecating/removing racoon/ipsec-tools from Debian GNU/Linux and racoon from Debian/kfreebsd
Hello,
I wish racoon/ipsec-tools could stay for just a little longer. I'd like
some time to evaluate it, against the *SWAN implementations, for
GNU/kFreeBSD jessie. IPSEC has not been enabled yet in Debian default
kernels, but it is a personal goal to have it in the jessie release.
When I last had the chance to work on this, racoon seemed like the best
available candidate due in part to a spate of security problems in
openswan/strongswan, and freeswan not being maintained any more IIRC.
I don't think systemd support should cause an issue for any existing
package until jessie+1. And then I think systemd proponents should help
you with a unit file if one is needed. And finally, it might still be
useful at least as a kfreebsd-any package.
When I have some time to resume work on IPSEC I hope I can then give
some helpful feedback.
Thanks,
Regards,
