What is the status of it now, however? Does it work with -current and exist in a committable state? Does IPv6 and IPSec work? What about OpenBSD's stated intention to merge the INRIA work with their own and standardise on some sort of "hybrid" project? Is INRIA taking this work back? I'm still waiting for some sort of indication that KAME does all of these things, for example. Everyone says it's good, but nobody will say whether or not it works well enough to replace the IPSec port which is sitting in our PR database and, as I said, is being actually used in real-life situations. If neither KAME nor INRIA is ready to perform this role yet, that's something we also need to be aware of. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
