quagga status
Hi,

Is this project dead or alive? I'm still running the code on my linux routers.
I just upgraded to Rocky 8, and quite frankly I tried to switch to FRR and
found a number of bugs in FRR, so for my purposes quagga is working better. But
I did just find a minor issue with quagga that I had to patch, and I wanted to
clone the git sources to poke around, but that turns out to be impossible,
because I can't find a functioning, up-to-date git repository. Where does the
project live these days, or is it just dead and everybody needs to migrate
away?

The development info on the website here:
https://www.quagga.net/devel.html
says to run:
git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/quagga.git
But that command does not work:

bash-4.2$ git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/quagga.git
Cloning into 'quagga'...
fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported: /quagga.git

And the download link http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/quagga/
gives a 404.

And the project page on Savannah seems to be corrupt, since it points
somehow to something called "gnulist".

Then there's this repository on github:
https://github.com/Quagga/quagga
But it claims to be on release 1.2.3, whereas I somehow have 1.2.4.

Regards from a former maintainer,
Andy

Re: quagga status [ In reply to ]
Hello Andy,

I have exactly the same problem.

Needed TRILL, I asked why it was removed from the Quagga source, no
answer. Same problem as you with the git repo, I finally forked it. And
I also share the same conclusion about FRRouting... which doesn't have
TRILL anyway.

I started to reintegrate TRILL in Quagga, but I will have sooner or
later problems to share the sources.

Anyway, I think the question is rather to know who would be interested
in taking over the project...

Kind regards,
eric

Hello,
I have a copy of the git repo here: https://gitnews.jcloud.no/?download=quagga.net
You need to download it, not clone it.
The lastest commit is from 2020 (commit log at https://gitnews.jcloud.no/?package=quagga.net )

Hi Andrew,

would you have time to elaborate on the issues in FRR that made it
non-usable for you? I was working on packaging quagga in Fedora for a
while but since it died I started packaging FRR. I would be interested
in any problems that you found that made you go back to quagga.

Michal Ruprich

Hi Michal,

This was the bug that sent me running back to Quagga:
https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/issues/10104

It's also discussed here:
https://lists.frrouting.org/pipermail/frog/2021-November/001171.html

Regards,
Andy

Re: quagga status [ In reply to ]
Hi all,

My best guess is that the latest Quagga source is located here:
https://github.com/Quagga/quagga
(despite all of the broken links on quagga.net and savannah, etc.)

I suggest opening pull requests there for suggested changes. I'm emailing
Paul to see if we can somehow resurrect Quagga a little bit, although I'm
not clear on whether anyone has the capability or desire to evolve it
in a serious way.

Regards,
Andy
