I could not find any security-related issues in those packages and we are mos= tly one version behind. Strongswan was just released days ago and interesting= features for us have been added. > Since IPFire 2.x currently refuses to build on my workstation ("kernel too = old", running > OpenSuSE Leap 15.1), I cannot take care of those until I found some spare t= ime to undergo > a distribution upgrade, which probably does not happen before mid-September. Yes, since we rebased the toolchain we require kernel 4.14: https://git.ipfire.org/?p=3Dipfire-2.x.git;a=3Dblob;f=3Dlfs/glibc;h=3D802c3= 72a904bf283fe2d3bd26b220d058b7fa2fe;hb=3DHEAD#l67 I changed it so that our version of glibc does not ship any old compatibility= stuff that we do not need because IPFire itself is on 4.14 for years and as = far as I knew any major distribution is on a more recent release. Is this a common thing now and we need to downgrade? Any reason why you are n= ot on the latest release of OpenSUSE Leap? 15.2 is out for some now. > Is somebody else currently in luxury of being capable to build IPFire 2.x?
