Bug#483627: RFA: xsupplicant -- 802.1x and 802.11i supplicant (client)



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

It's time for xsupplicant to get a new maintainer or be removed from
the archive entirely.

At one time there were a few obscure EAP methods which xsupplicant
supported that wpasupplicant did not. There were also a handful of
workarounds for buggy authenticator implementations that resulted in
xsupplicant working in cases where wpasupplicant did not. To the best
of my knowledge, this is no longer the case.

Additionally, while upstream is still active, they've shifted their 
efforts away from the 1.2 branch in favor of a complete rewrite which
is focused primarily on Windows.

If there are no takers, I will ask for its removal sometime in the next
couple of weeks.
