[src/trunk]: src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools Update, after ten years...



details:   https://anonhg.NetBSD.org/src/rev/7601c8a93e1c
branches:  trunk

description:
Update, after ten years. Importantly, add a "History" section, to explain
what's going on.

We have now become "upstream", and most of the ipsec-tools development is
done in NetBSD's CVS. However, many distributions still take their
tarballs from SourceForge (which is defunct, and not maintained).

+History
+=======
+
+Ipsec-tools was originally developed by the KAME project. It was then moved
+on SourfeForge, at the following address:
+
        http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/
 
-And CVS repository is hosted at NetBSD tree:
-       cvs -danoncvs%anoncvs.netbsd.org@localhost:/cvsroot co ipsec-tools
+Due to too restricted commit accesses, the development stalled, and the
+source code was moved into NetBSD's CVS repository, in:
+
+       src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools
 
-Bug reports and project wiki is located at:
+However, many distributions still take their tarballs from SourceForge, and
+each distribution maintains local patches.
+
+A Trac used to exist, at the following address:
+
        https://trac.ipsec-tools.net/
 
-Please report any problems to the mailing list:
+but the domain expired and was not renewed.
+
+The mailing lists from SourceForge still exist:
+
        ipsec-tools-devel%lists.sourceforge.net@localhost
        ipsec-tools-users%lists.sourceforge.net@localhost
