It was then moved 32 on SourfeForge, at the following address: 33 34 http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/ 35 36 Due to too restricted commit accesses, the development stalled, and the 37 source code was moved into NetBSD's CVS repository, in: 38 39 src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools 40 41 However, many distributions still take their tarballs from SourceForge, and 42 each distribution maintains local patches. 43 44 FreeBSD maintains its own libipsec and setkey tools, in: 45 46 head/lib/libipsec/ 47 head/sbin/setkey/ 48 49 A Trac used to exist, at the following address: 50 51 https://trac.ipsec-tools.net/ 52 53 but the domain expired and was not renewed. 54 55 The mailing lists from SourceForge still exist: 56 57 ipsec-tools-devel (a] lists.sourceforge.net 58 ipsec-tools-users (a] lists.sourceforge.net 59 60 You can also browse the list archive: 61 http://sf.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=ipsec-tools-devel 62
