I would like to deploy FreeRadius in production, as an authorization server (keep the allowed IPs for each user in MySQL with FreeRadius) and pushing the authentication to another Radius server (using FreeRadius's proxy feature), but the current status of the source tree kind of scares me. :-/ I mean, for me, if only the MySQL authorization backend and the Radius proxy authentication would be "stable" - that should be theoretically enough. But there's a ton of other things that make me wait for a stable release. Which kind of sucks, because FreeRadius is so cool. ;-) -- Florin Andrei A bug is a feature that can't be turned off. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

Matthew's right. The rate of development makes it awfully hard to plan releases. IMO, FreeRADIUS needs a "stable" branch that is pushed towards 1.0, instead of the whole tree being in a perpetual alpha-state. That means no EAP, no Python module, no $whiz_bang_untested_feature, and I'm not sure anyone is willing to draw a line, as yet, and that makes my job awfully hard. Freeze, branch a stable tree, backport bugfixes, wait, release. I'll release a CVS snapshot, likely. :( - chad -- Chad Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.advogato.org/person/cmiller/> ``Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a pool.'' - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Install package build-essential 1. Install all of the build-dependencies (grep Build-Dep debian/control) 2. $ fakeroot debian/rules binary 3. # dpkg -i ../*.deb And that's it. If the compile fails you find out why and simply add a - --without_rlm-xxx to the configure line in debian/rules, as some modules in the CVS snapshots tend to misbehave sometimes :-) I managed to build quite a few CVS snapshots from 0.1 to 0.5 without much fuss. Oh yes, I forgot: you should add an entry to the top of debian/changelog (before building the package) so you know the details about the package when you're looking at it in a few months' time. It helps a lot, believe me. regards, - -- Borut [EMAIL PROTECTED] - mikeaatokcforum.org wrote: > But the most stable box is the one that is powered down, and NT is as > close to powered-down as it is possible to get on a box with power up. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjyximYACgkQRUVvbWYRhIJeegCeKBq26xKlK2c2LHZ5gS5qQzUM wm0An3c9ClFKg4omsz5a1oM4Ux6onWVx =P7S6 -END PGP SIGNATURE- - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: FreeRadius 0.5 and Debian 3.0
Can apt be setup to get a nightly snapshot, compile, and install that? While it would be nice to have FreeRadius in Debian, I think the current release cycle is entirely to fast for it. 0.5 was released less than a month ago, and the nightly builds already far surpass it. I don't believe packaging is the issue for FreeRadius, simply that the amount of work currently being done, means that no package would stay in Debian for more than a night. Matt.

FreeRadius 0.5 and Debian 3.0
Hi All, The radiusd-freeradius packages have been REMOVED from Debian testing/woody, because of the severe bugs (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=radiusd-freeradius&repeatm erged=yes) outstanding, and the fact that the debian package is outdated (0.4) If freeradius is going to be in the Debian distribution, now is the time to get it in there. Woody is getting close to release (1st May is probable date). Quote from www.freeradius.org: "including several developers of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system". Perhaps some of these developers would be kind enough to package 0.5 for us debian users? I would be more that willing to help test any packages.
