Bug#171385: ITP: racoon: IPsec ISAKMP implementation
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
I just downloaded the latest upstream source for the iputils packages
and noticed that they it now contains quite a bit of IPsec code. This
includes libipsec and racoon. Racoon is the KAME ISAKMP (IPsec key
exchange protocol) implementation. I haven't investigated further, but
considering the upstream author's involvement in Linux kernel network
development, I'd take this as a sign that racoon will be the "official"
ISAKMP implementation for the recently merged kernel IPsec code.
I haven't seen any mention of racoon on this list, nor in wnpp. The
iputils release notes indicate that racoon will eventually be moved to a
separate source package that should be packaged separately from the
iptuils Debian packages. I will maintain the racoon and libipsec
packages, since I haven't seen any sign of other people offering to do
so.
If I missed an ITP, please let me know.
noah
