https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220170 --- Comment #5 from Dan Mahoney <freebsd@gushi.org> --- Just so I understand, does this mean that there's a chance this will appear in an 11.1-Pn patch release, or is this a "wait for 11.2 if there is one" sort of case? I normally understand that we don't want kernel changes made within a release-cycle, but these are fairly minor changes (after all, full on options IPSEC is in -GENERIC) and it's pretty clear by the inclusion of the module that this support was intended to be there. Failing that, might there be a possibility of breaking out the ipsec_support option to a loadable that applies to -GENERIC as well? Perhaps something that could be compiled and loaded alongside base, even if not distributed with it? Updating to -STABLE on production systems is even more irritating than a custom kernel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
