Hello.
Before sending the issue to maintainers I want to ask people who use strongswan.
StrongSWAN migrated from ``ipsec(8)`` to ``swanctl(8)`` and from ``strongswan-starter`` (ipsec-based) to ``strongswan`` (special version of charon that could be used with systemd).
In Debian you have the legacy "strongswan-starter" package and modern "charon-systemd".
Metapackage "strongswan" depends on former and its ``README.Debian.gz`` still mention ``ipsec`` command
So after installing strongswan I had to manually disable "strongswan-starter" and install "charon-systemd" and enable "strongswan" service (which starts charon and loads data using swanctl)
It is covered briefly in NEWS file for "charon-systemd" (but not in a wiki unfortunately)
Do you use ipsec(8) or swanctl(8)? Why not make swanctl/charon-systemd Debian default?
Ilya.
