Re: [mpls-linux-devel] LDP query

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

Hello,

Basically MPLS LDP (quagga-mpls + ldp-portable) is only ready for
people who are willing to help debug.  So far I think there are three
people besides me who have had some level of success using it.  All of them
downloaded the code from my development tree and compiled it themselves.

Until I get more feed back from people about them being able to successfully
use MPLS LDP, I will not release a new version.
