Debian Dependencies - CVS Head
by Humberto Diogenes 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, guys! Yesterday, I tried to compile the latest FreeRadius (cvs head) on Sarge and got this: dpkg-buildpackage: source package is freeradius dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 2.0.0-pre2 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Nicolas Baradakis <nbk(a)sitadelle.com> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 5) dpkg- dev (>= 1.13.25) dpkg-buildpackage: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting. dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.) I should note that 2.0pre0 worked fine, and trying with -d didn't work. I thought: OK, tomorrow I install on a new machine. Got one with Ubuntu Server LTS, and then... got the same error. This time the error was only with dpkg-dev (Ubuntu comes with 1.13.11), but anyway, does it really need those versions? What do I have to use to compile it without errors? P.S.: I ended up commenting the dependency and it (seems to have) worked. -- Humberto Diógenes http://humberto.digi.com.br

upgrade path for distributions
by Stephen Gran 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi all, I've been looking at the freeradius 2.0pre versions, and first, I want to say nice work. The new features look wonderful. I'm a little concerned about the upgrade path for distributions, though, and I wanted to raise it as an issue for consideration. I am fully aware that it may be unfixable. It appears now that a 1.x config file will not be parsed by a 2.x server, and you'll be left with a non-functioning radius service after an upgrade. This makes me feel like the right upgrade path for distributions is to ship the new version as freeradius2 (complete with /etc/freeradius2, /usr/sbin/freeradius2, and so on). This would allow admins to coinstall the two versions, and plan an orderly migration, rather than just break the existing setup. As you can imagine, this introduces quite a bit of divergence that I really do not want to add. It also means that we will have to ship the last version of freeradius 1.x code to provide an upgrade path, which means maintaining 2 code bases instead of one for the next several years, which I also really don't want to do. (Not that freeradius is in general a difficult package to maintain - thanks to everyone for a stable and secure server). I'm just hoping to put the issue on people's radar if it is able to be worked around. If it's not, then I'll just bite the bullet and make the divergence, but I was really hoping not to.
