Package: strongswan-starter Version: 5.6.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Upstream strongSwan 5.6.1 introduced the counters plugin, which moved from being stroke-specific, to being shared with swanctl. FWICT Alioth commit d14d4c17 added the counters plugin to the strongswan-starter package where stroke resides. Perhaps in reaction to the upstream change - perhaps because stroke would fail without the plugin being available? Sorry for my ignorance, I no longer use strongswan-starter/stroke anywhere, and instead rely solely on charon-systemd/swanctl. As you can see from the documentation, this plugin was intended to be accessible to the strongswan-swanctl package as well. https://wiki.strongswan.org/versions/67 “The IKE event counters, previously only available via ipsec listcounters command, may now also be queried and reset via vici and the new swanctl --counters command. They are collected and provided by the optional counters plugin (enabled by default for backwards compatibility if the stroke plugin is built).” https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Swanctl “The --counters command was added with 5.6.1." It would seem appropriate to move the counters plugin to the libstrongswan package (although I always get confused about libcharon vs. libstrongswan). I'd like to use this feature of swanctl to create a munin-node statistics collection script. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (601, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages strongswan-starter depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.61 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libstrongswan 5.6.1-1.1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 Versions of packages strongswan-starter recommends: pn strongswan-charon <none> strongswan-starter suggests no packages. -- Gerald Turner <gtur...@unzane.com> Encrypted mail preferred!
