Hi Dan, Fabian, all,
unfortunately my job is still draining all my time; recently my
contribute to maintain vpnc has been close to zero.
The email from Dan is pending in my inbox since already 30 days, sorry for this!
To clarify the status of the code:
vpnc "trunk" is the main version and is the one included and tested in
most (but not all) distro.
The code in "nortel" branch is working, but not clean as the one in "trunk".
I have spent quite some time to push in "nortel" all the patches
available in "trunk", also those independent from "nortel"
functionality.
Apart from potential mistakes, everyone should be able to use and test
"nortel" version in place of "trunk". Some distro is already packaging
"nortel".
Next step should be cleanup of "nortel" and then merge in "trunk" (or
just replace "trunk" with "nortel").
Now that one part of my job is going over, my plan is to return on
vpnc code, with following priorities:
- commit few pending patches;
- fix the issue with Avaya servers (disconnect after 30 seconds).
Avaya has replaced Nortel in the market;
- fix a new issue reported by Keith Brown, on "one" Cisco server.
I would like to receive patches to fix last two items, but till now no
contributions.
Then should be time to tag a new version.
Anyway, this activity should let me put hands in this code again to
rethink about code cleanup.
Contributions are welcome.
I'm not against moving the repository to github or other places.
But if the purpose is just the add new contributors, I believe Maurice
Massar can help enabling other accounts to write on existing SVN.
If purpose is just to use git, well I use it for vpnc since years;
thanks to git-svn, it's almost transparent.
I also checked the unofficial 0.5.4beta.
Would be nice to get access to the repository to check each patch with
relative comments; a big final blob is hard to digest.
This is an invitation to them to contribute ;)
Best Regards,
Antonio
