Re: [Pound Mailing List] Current development status
I haven't posted much to the list so far but have tried to help out once or twice when I know the answer to a question, and have had questions of my own.. all of which have been answered. I also started a Puppet module a while back which I am using in production, it has more added to it than the one I announced before and needs a bit of polish, I will try and get it in a nice enough state to show. Overall, Pound *rocks* it's one of a few peices of Free Software which truly shine, it does exactly what it's supposed to do and it does it exceptionally well. +1 for github On tis 18 jun 2013 17:35:00, Joe Gooch wrote: Seems like I didn't have to chime in. :) Robert Segall is the maintainer... I haven't heard from him in awhile; I know his life is very busy. He has put out v2.7b which is the next beta branch. I maintain a github project with the source code at http://github.com/goochjj/pound/ Branches of note would be what Andreas posted from the prior thread, reposted here: My suggestion to anyone who needs PCI-DSS compliance is to run my branch here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/tree/stage_for_upstream/v2.7b Zip here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/archive/stage_for_upstream/v2.7b.zip This is based on 2.7b, and includes a bunch of patches that I usually include in pound, to do things like SNI, CertDir includes, IncludeDir, PCRE redirects, etc. If you don't feel comfortable running a 2.7 branch, or don't want to include those patches, I've rolled a new branch: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/tree/pcidss/v2.6 Zip here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/archive/pcidss/v2.6.zip Which includes only the XSRF, SSLv2, SSL compression and cipher enhancements against a 2.6 baseline. My overall goal for Pound is I feel it's a great product that does exactly what it's designed to do, no less, no more. It's stable and I use it in multiple production environments for load balancing and SSL termination. Any features it hasn't been able to do, I've added over the years. It's also a product I'd like to see in continued use, and so I like to help out where I can, adding features, applying patches, keeping things secure (i.e. SSL fixes and such). That's why I maintain my branches... Because I see the merit and I want to be sure people using pound are covered. I'd love to see Pound gain more community support... perhaps moving to github as a primary distro, getting 2.7 polished and out the door and a bunch of things... Right now Robert's the only one we can make those sorts of decisions... and there are some bits that aren't available in releases that would need to be checked in. (things like the autoconf script source) I am by no means the only contributor and it'd be great to wrap more people around the project. As far as support, there are many people on this list who are active with config/production questions as well as code level support, so this project is very much alive. :) Joe -Original Message- From: Andreas Hilboll [mailto:li...@hilboll.de] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 9:09 AM To: pound@apsis.ch Cc: Scott McKeown Subject: Re: [Pound Mailing List] Current development status Hi, Joe stated the links to updated 2.6 and 2.7 branches in this thread: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2013/2013- 04/136765000/index_html Cheers, Andreas.

Re: [Pound Mailing List] Current development status
Thanks Andreas now bookmarked. Don't know how I didn't see that before. ~Scott On 18 June 2013 14:08, Andreas Hilboll li...@hilboll.de wrote: Hi, Joe stated the links to updated 2.6 and 2.7 branches in this thread: http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2013/2013-04/136765000/index_html Cheers, Andreas.
