28History
29=======
30
31Ipsec-tools was originally developed by the KAME project. It was then moved
32on SourfeForge, at the following address:
33
34 http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/
35
36Due to too restricted commit accesses, the development stalled, and the
37source code was moved into NetBSD's CVS repository, in:
38
39 src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools
40
41However, many distributions still take their tarballs from SourceForge, and
42each distribution maintains local patches.
43
44FreeBSD maintains its own libipsec and setkey tools, in:
45
46 head/lib/libipsec/
47 head/sbin/setkey/
48
49A Trac used to exist, at the following address:
50
51 https://trac.ipsec-tools.net/
52
53but the domain expired and was not renewed.
54
55The mailing lists from SourceForge still exist:
56
57 ipsec-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
58 ipsec-tools-users@lists.sourceforge.net
