I just opened this report against radiusclient-ng in Debian (see
below), can anybody else comment on the situation, in particular,
for compatibility? Is there any urgency for Debian to update to the
new client code?
I think the wiki page referenced below is not up to date, it refers
to a CVS repository but it appears that the client code is not in
github
Also, is anybody aware of C++ wrappers for this code or a C++
alternative?
-------- Original Message --------
Package: libradiusclient-ng2
Version: 0.5.6-1.1
Severity: normal
I've just read through the wiki at:
http://wiki.freeradius.org/glossary/Radiusclient
If I understand correctly,
a) freeradius-client is the continuation of radiusclient-ng (which was
the continuation of a previous project)
b) it is not a fork of the previous projects
c) it should be compatible (or almost compatible) with code that was
built for radiusclient-ng
d) it is NOT built from the main FreeRADIUS source tree or repository,
it is built from a standalone repository
Therefore, this leaves me feeling that Debian should drop the
libradiusclient-ng2 package and distribute FreeRADIUS client instead and
there will be no significant side-effects of doing so.
