Re: [Ocf-linux-users] OCF only patch for openswan-2.4.9

[hiren j. <jos...@gm...>]

Thank you David for the reply.
Actually ocf-openswan-2.4.9-20070727.patch adds
https://gsoc.xelerance.com/view.php?id=982 in openswan-2.4.9 and makes
it unstable.

However now I am migrating to KLIP-2.6.23 (only KLIPS from
openswan-2.6.23) as it has OCF integrated.
I don't see openswan-2.6.24rc5  on download page (http://openswan.org/code/).
I hope openswan-2.6.23 will be stable enough.
Migration of userspace code (pluto) will take some time for me - I am
waiting for https://gsoc.xelerance.com/view.php?id=1004 to complete
100%.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Hiren
