The Super FreeSWAN patch has morphed into a full blown project of it's own complete with road maps, mailing lists, CVS, and an IRC channel.
It would be very nice to get Openswan v2.10 included with FC2.
- Does it work on Linux Kernel 2.6?
The Openswan 1.x.x releases will runn on 2.0.x, 2.2.x and 2.4.x series only. Our 2.x.x tree is in active development, and support the 2.6 kernels.
I have no idea what their timetable is for their 2.x.x tree, but I would suspect that it would need to be in a stable state before we consider adding it to FC2.
It could be stable now, I just suspect that the smart people on the kernel team will hold off on adding third party kernel code that wasn't absolutely rock solid, and the announcement seems to imply that the 2.6 branch isn't there yet.
This is especially key since FC2 has an agressive time table...
