Great. Here's my 2 cents: 1) Changing the name ipsec.conf in strongswan is a pita. I requires everything from changing the internals of man pages and man page names to editing the header that hard codes "/etc/ipsec.conf" 2) Changing the name ipsec.conf in ipsec-tools is as easy as changing one line int /etc/conf.d/racoon. 3) Debian uses /etc/ipsec-tools.conf for ipsec-tools. Okay, the solution here is pretty obvious. ipsec-tools-0.8.0-r5 will use /etc/ipsec-tools.conf. Question: how to alert our users? What do you think of a news item with Display-If-Installed: <net-firewall/ipsec-tools-0.8.0-r5
(In reply to comment #3) changing ipsec-tools sounds reasonable (i don't care either way since i don't use either package) in terms of migration, you can add a pkg_preinst hook that looks to see if the user already has ipsec-tools installed and if so, automatically migrate the file. you can also check to see if they have strongswan installed and issue a warning in that case (and not do the file migration).
Okay fixed in the tree with ipsec-tools-0.8.0-r5.
