freeradius in debian stable (jessie)
Hi List! I'm wondering if anyone is using the freeradius-version in Debian Stable that currently installs via apt (it's version 2.2.5+dfsg-0.2 ). So, clearly this is a pretty old version (as so often in debian stable) but if you use freeradius with jessie: what version do you use and did you compile it from scratch or is there a source of precompiled packages I'm not aware of yet? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Julian Scharrenbach - Informatik Betriebswirt (VWA)

There is currently no maintainer for FreeRADIUS in Debian... hence the ancient version. There are several PPAs out there though that provide them. Search on this list.

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't really aware of that but I somewhat guessed it already... anyway the only ppa I discovered is the one from Mathieu Simon ( https://pkg.1labs.ch/info/pages/freeradius-packages.html ) - it has been created jan'16 so that's as up-to-date I can get, I guess?

This is luckily not true anymore :D :D *woohooo* https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/freeradius But I don't know about intentions to backport it.

Just found: https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-freeradius-maintainers/Week-of... So we might also expect a FR3 backport.

My test machine is using jessie and i compile the freeradius from source ( ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/freeradius/freeradius-server-3.0.12.tar.gz ), and add the mysql suport to the installation. Is basically ./configure && make && make install I don't remember all the needed packages, but you can use something like this on your apt: build-essential libmysqlclient-dev libc6 libc6-udeb libgdbm3 libltdl7 libpam0g libperl5.20 libpython2.7 libssl lsb-base libmysqlclient18 libmysqlclient-dev libmysqlclient15-dev 2016-11-23 12:02 GMT-02:00 Julian Scharrenbach <j.scharrenbach@picotronic.de

I just don't get accustomed to compile programs on servers (it's not like I can't - I just don't like it and in a stable environment it should be everyone's last option, imo). On 23.11.2016 15:46, Matthew Newton wrote:

Of course you should use separate build VMs for this task.
(it's not like I can't - I just don't like it and in a stable environment it should be everyone's last option, imo).
For whatever definition of "stable"... For some server software I would never ever use the crappy packages shipped with Debian. freeradius is one of them. Ciao, Michael.

Use `pbuilder` package. Then you can compile any Debian package for any Debian environment, as long as dependencies are satisfied. - Adam
