<resolution>
|
|
<p>Gentoo has discontinued support for Openswan. We recommend that users
|
|
unmerge Openswan:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --unmerge "net-misc/openswan"
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
<p>NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Openswan have discontinued
|
|
support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will
|
|
update Openswan at a later date. Alternatives packages such as Libreswan
|
|
and strongSwan are currently available in Gentoo Portage.
