Dear G,
I followed most of your advice, and just uploaded to mentors.
I didn't package ipset because:
- Almost dead upstream. There're a few questions and pull request is
pending on github for years.
- I cannot compile by the steps described in upstream's INSTALL file.
It failed on linking.
- Current embedded library just works, because shadowsocks-libev's
upstream has modified this library to improve compatibility on
multi-platform.
I hope you or other DD can sponsor this two packages, because my usual
sponsor is quite busy.
Thanks for your understanding!
Cheers,
