1 I picked up maintenance for net-misc/openswan a coupe of years ago.
2
3 The project has since been forked by its main maintainer upstream into
4 the "libreswan" project. This seems to be better maintained than the
5 current openswan software. I have added libreswan to the tree and it
6 is what I use on a daily basis.
7
8 I plan to drop maintenance of the openswan ebuild. There are several
9 open bugs that I have been ignoring, two of which are security bugs.

11 Does anyone want to pick this package up? Otherwise, I will lastrite it.
