Bug Description

Debian packaging already in progress: https://mentors.debian.net/package/frr

Packager is:
  - Dave Lamparter (<email address hidden>)

====
Quagga was forked in 2016 with the Free Range Routing (FRR) project under the Linux Foundation. Development of Quagga has largely ground to a halt [1] while FRR has continued at a very high rate of activity [2] with the bulk of the open source maintainers shifting their efforts to FRR.

Please consider adding the FRR package [3, 4] in parallel to the old Quagga package. Ubuntu 18.04.LTS and 16.04.LTS should be considered as priorities, IMO. THanks.

Key maintainers are:
  - Lou Berger (<email address hidden>, https://github.com/louberger) and
  - Martin Winter (https://github.com/mwinter-osr).
