Description of problem: It would be nice to have the support for strongswan in mageia to use vpn connections that require strongswan (Ipsec with IKEv1 or IKEv2). It would be perfect if that option for strongswan would be intregrated in the drakvpn (https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/de/content/images/drakvpn1.png) https://www.strongswan.org/ Thank you very much.
Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

This is not needed and would just bring recurring security issues. We already have openswan to provide this functionality. Granted, we do need to switch that to libreswan.

Neither openswan not libreswan provide support for EAP so far. Maybe strongswan would be the best solution to keep instead ? Or are there some licence or other issues that prevent it ?
libreswan is the more popular alternative. We don't have the manpower to provide and support multiple implementations of everything, especially something as highly impacted by security issues as this.
popular according to what/who ? If strongswan supports everything that libreswan does and also already have support for EAP, then why not keep only strongswan and not libreswan to have only one package to support ? Plus fedora already has a strongswan package, so work could be shared with them ?
