I'm also interested in having tacacs+ available in Debian. I wanted to test
your packages but unfortunately mentors removes packages after a while and
so they are gone from there now.


Hi, sorry for late reply - I was travelling a lot during the holiday season.

Just checked my Debian development folder and I have source code for all the mentioned tacacs+ upstream sources, from 27a to 29. Changes between them were nominal and I found no issues building them for Debian. I only have the Debian packaging files for 27a which I *think* was at some point uploaded to the mentors website:

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmbYHstr4UT7v2JnpLNJZr1Xpu1HEu886CUdvQU3otpkhk?filename=tacacs+_4.0.4.27a-3.debian.tar.xz


All the related files I have - on a second thought I'm not sure why the debian archive has 2016 modification date, maybe it's the original archive from the times the package was still active?

There has been a long discussion with one of the mentors who made a lot of suggestions and I think all of them resolved, but ultimately the package was removed as it found no sponsor. I'm not really using TACACS+ anywhere in production any more so I didn't really have much motivation to fight on that hill.
