Fwd: radiusclient-ng in Debian
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 -------- Subject: radiusclient-ng in Debian Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 14:41:54 +0200 From: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.com.au> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org> 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.

It has a number of bugs fixed. The old radiusclient-ng code is no longer maintained.

It's on github, as freeradius-client.
Also, is anybody aware of C++ wrappers for this code or a C++ alternative?
Nope. C++? What's that? :) Alan DeKok.

I'm in the pkg-voip group at Debian so I can potentially package this new version of the library

Ok, my mistake, I did see it in github - it was just a wiki issue
Also, is anybody aware of C++ wrappers for this code or a C++ alternative?
Nope. C++? What's that? :)
That's what we use in reSIProcate - we have a very basic wrapper for rlm_digest auth: https://svn.resiprocate.org/viewsvn/resiprocate/main/rutil/RADIUSDigestAuthe... We have a GSoC student helping us out this summer and he will probably have a go at generalising that code to work with rlm_hmac (for STUN/TURN) as well as existing SIP support. It may be possible for us to contribute the most general part of our solution back to the client library project

I've uploaded this today, it is in Debian's approval queue now For anybody who can't wait, packaging artifacts are here: Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/pkg-voip/freeradius-client.git Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-voip/freeradius-client.git;a=summary
The FTP masters just accepted the new freeradius-client package, it should be available to install now using "apt-get" I've opened a bug request for removal of the radiusclient-ng package from the Debian archive On 19/07/13 19:25, Daniel Pocock wrote:

can M.I.T. model stats for a regional mental health service to act as a 3d shape that can represent an average that can be super imposed on other 3d models of other health services to check for odd variation. I had a consultant offer me uncompiled raw stats to prove regularity of diagnosis when he thought i could do nothing with them.

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.
