Debian FreeRADIUS package and Woody
Hi, all. I've decided to withdraw the radiusd-freeradius* packages from Debian Woody (the upcoming release). If history is any indicator, any snapshot of the tree I take will need a signifigant patch not long after it's taken. Debian's standards are too high, and administrative software (and authentication in particular) is too important for me to allow that. It will remain in Sid (unstable), of course, in hopes we'll be ready for Woody+1. I'll still keep the debian/ directory up-to-date, so builds from CVS should be possible with minimal changes. - chad -- Chad Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] url: 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?

Though I wish it was possible to include freeradius in woody, I do understand where Chad is coming from. How are we to recognize a particular version as being 'least buggy' ahead of time? If all the snapshots have bugs in them of one kind or another, how is any snapshot going to get enough testing to be confident there aren't any major, ugly, yet-unseen bugs hiding in the code that will pop out only after a version of freeradius has been burned to hundreds of thousands of CDs around the world? I'd like to see freeradius in woody, but not to the point that I'm volunteering to do the heavy lifting on Chad's behalf if bugs show up after release.

Re: Debian FreeRADIUS package and Woody
Hi Chad, I can certainly understand that. Packaging software that is in a perpetual alpha-state must be a challenge. Especially with the strict standard the debian stable has. I have no problem with using the packages from sid. And I thank you for all the effort you have put into maintaining the packages so far.

debian freeradius package
Hi, guys. The Debian package is alive and well. I last uploaded 0_2+20010917-1 to sid on (you guessed it) 17 Sept. It should fall into woody RSN. I'm ready to make one for 0.3 at the drop of a hat. Btw, there is an initscript in the debian/ directory, and the build rules use it. It works properly with the location of the pidfile. (All of that changed on the 17th, so use a recent tree.) When Alan tags 0.3, I'll update the changelog and retag it to 0.3, and upload to sid again. You can wait and get the official package for your particular architecture, or set the date and version in the changelog and make your own, or apt-get source whenever you like. - chad - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
