The current maintainer has indicated that he is holding up the quagga 0.99.10 port until an unknown time when the TCP MD5 checksum patches are again working in the tree. I don't think that this is the right thing to do, as the TCP MD5 checksums are not necessary for the vast majority of installations, and DO NOT work with a GENERIC kernel. I'd like to request that the port be split into two ports -- one with a stock quagga installation, and the other with the MD5 checksum patches, due to the instability and constant work on said patches making the port unstable. (and being unavailable right now holds up access to a major bugfix line) -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
