Please merge NetworkManager-openconnect with Debian Unstable

[Nicola Ferralis]

Binary package hint: network-manager

The new client openconnect (a Cisco Anyconnect-compatible VPN client) has been ported to karmic. A plugin for NetworkManager is available upstream and in the Fedora repository and it should be ported to Karmic as well.

A debian package is not available yet, but an upload was made apparently:

http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/network-manager-openconnect_0.7.2~20090715-1.html

Now in Debian unstable.

This is a 0.7.x based plugin, whereas network-manager 0.8~ has been uploaded to Karmic already, so I don't this package can be merged.

You can find bzr branches for all the network-manager VPN plugins here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~network-manager/network-manager/

In order to get network-manager-openconnect into Karmic, someone needs to create a bzr branch which follows the conventions of the current vpn packages. Once this branch builds, and is tested with the latest network-manager and -applet packages, we can consider merging into a new .head branch, and uploading to Karmic.

network-manager-openconnect was built for an uploaded to karmic recently: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openconnect

I'm marking this as Invalid for network-manager and fix released for network-manager-openconnect: a current and functional -openconnect vpn plugin for 0.8~ is already available in the repositories.
