I mean that it *could* be the best implementation of rfc3561. Well, when I was searching the web for information about it (few month ago), this was the impression I had. What is the largest scale (test) setup which has been done with aodv-uu/rfc3561? /seriously curious I cannot answer this. I personally used it successfully with 3 computers. For largest scale test, please refer to upstream author. http://core.it.uu.se/core/index.php/AODV-UU It must have been tested by some other universities as well. There is an IPv6 patch provided by the University of Buckingham, for example. I think it would be a good idea to make it available for every Debian users. Probably, yes. But we are in a freeze atm, so no new packages are possible. That's also why I'm currently not interested in sponsoring aodv-uu, I rather concentrate on fixing release related stuff. Sorry :-) I thought it could go to unstable in the meanwhile. Anyway, releasing lenny is more important, and this package is not something critical. This can wait a little, and be sponsored after the lenny rush, don't you think ? :) Please CC me on your answer. Done. (No need to cc: me, I read [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Thanks. And I won't cc: you, I promise. :D Regards, Fabien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AFAIK aodv-uu doesn't run with recent kernels (2.6.22) - or was that fixed? Damn, it seems you're right. I just tried on a 2.6.25 kernel, but it does not compile. Well, I suppose this delays everything... Fabien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
New package : aodv-uu / looking for a mentor
Hello, I packaged the aodv-uu software (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing) for my own needs. Here is the official project page : http://core.it.uu.se/core/index.php/AODV-UU This is a routing protocol based on RFC3561 for Ad-Hoc networks. This implementation seems to be the best available. Aodv share the same goal as olsrd, even if the technique used is very different. This is why Holger Levsen (olsrd maintener) is on copy (hello). I think it would be a good idea to make it available for every Debian users. The binaries for Etch i386, and the source package (which builds on Lenny) are both available from my repository (on my quite slow connection) : http://debian.azertyfab.net/pool/main/a/aodv-uu/ This is the last upstream version. There is two binary packages : - aodvd-uu : the daemon, - aodv-uu-source : the kernel module source for module-assistant I am thus looking for a mentor/sponsor to publish this package into Debian. Holger? :) Please CC me on your answer. Cheers, Fabien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
