I'm in the process of convincing the powers-that-are that we should really update our production OS such that it's based on Debian 7 instead of Debian 6 because sooner or later, some customer will start making noises about CVE-this or CVE-that. But until said customers is making noises, I'd have to do that (the update) as sort-of spare time activity of me at some point in time where I can spare the time. And I've been seriously busy with adding various features to our racoon version and 'our' kernel for almost a month now. No reason to worry about Debian Jessie anytime soon :-) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
