* Package name : libcoap2 Version : 4.2.0alpha Upstream Author : Olaf Bergmann <bergm...@tzi.org> * URL : https://libcoap.net * License : BSD-2-clause Programming Lang: C Description : C-Implementation of CoAP, API version 2 Lightweight application-protocol for devices that are constrained their resources such as computing power, RF range, memory, bandwidth, or network packet sizes. This protocol, CoAP, is developed in the IETF working group "CoRE", <http://6lowapp.net> and was standardized in RFC 7252. The existing libcoap package in the archive isn't able to use any cryptography features. libcoap2 will provide an updated library which also provides encryption based on the library libssl1.1. It's planned to also support encryption based on GnuTLS at a later time. A first RC is expected to be released soon. The resulting upstream modifications to libcoap are not backwards compatible. To keep the existing library coinstallable with the current version I want to package the newest version within a separate source package. The packaging will be done within the IoT packaging group as a team managed package. Regards Carsten
