Request for the creation of an ebuild for the shrew VPN client, which works with many VPN gateway implementations: http://www.shrew.net/download/ike PS. Also mentioned here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/87920 -- Regards, Mick Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 238609 [details] A first pass of an ebuild I wanted to check out Shrew's VPN software, so I took the time to do it via an ebuild. I don't write ebuilds usually. I've fixed up broken ones in the past, but that's about it. Someone with some experience should touch this up, but at least it's a starting point. I did their latest alpha because their stable releases require QT 3 (I'm also a Gnome user, not a KDE/QT user, so again, I'm out of my element); this latest alpha builds against QT 4.2. Whomever deals with this also needs to take notice of the license. I'm no lawyer, but they have their own license that, to me, looks like an MIT license, but requires their license file accompany the installation. They don't ever seem to grant any permissions though.... Anyway, maybe this will help someone. Hopefully it won't format any hard-drives. ;-)
Created attachment 238623 [details] ebuild that checks for kernel options I found kernel option checking in net-firewall/ipsec-tools which is related, so I've updated what I had with code to check for various kernel options.
Hi, the current version is 2.2.0 beta. I'm using the svn version everyday (2.2.0 beta + some patches), and works pretty well. It would be nice to have it in gentoo, because it's the only Ipsec VPN gui client working with almost every ipsec enabled appliance (and maybe the only ipsec gui client in the OSS world).
Created attachment 311821 [details] Init script for ike daemon I've made an initscript which works. I use it almost everyday.
is an ebuild for svn version available anywhere?
