Please sync freeradius 2.2.8 from Debian sid

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Please sync freeradius to 2.2.8 already in Debian. Versions < 2.2.8 don't support TLS >= 1.0 and this is causing problems with newes OS (e.g. IOS9, Android 6), see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799273

==== original description ====

The current stable version of freeradius is the 2.2 series (2.2.4, of march 19th 2014).
Having at least a PPA for the recent stable version would be a good thing.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Volunteers for a PPA are welcome, but we don't currently track PPA requests in the bug tracker for the freeradius package in Ubuntu itself.

Debian is currently on 2.1.12+dfsg-1.3. I see two relevant bugs in Debian, including some work on packaging a newer release: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691770 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740857

Debian welcomed volunteers in these bugs. If anybody can join the effort, please do, and we can update Ubuntu as part of the same effort.
