2.4.8rc1 on FC7: error: too many arguments to function 'register_sysctl_table'

Hi,

I'm fixing the opensawn packages at ATrpms (mainly upgrading
to
2.4.8rc1 to fix the sk_buff/nfmark issue on FC > 5,
RHEL4/5 are still
good - FC5/FC6 packages will be available later today).

Fedora 7 and/or 2.6.21 cause the following error:

Any idea how to fix that and have packages for Fedora 7?

The problem is the huge changeset in the skb for the
2.6.21/22 kernels.
We are likely going to make a cut, because it is becoming
impossible
to support all kernels from 2.4 to 2.6.22 with ifdef's due
to the massive
skb surgery. So 2.4.x's latest supported kernel will
probably be 2.6.18.x,
and openswan 2.5.x will required a late 2.6.x kernel.

Though having said that, openswan 2.5.x needs to be fixed to
support
2.6.2x.

So in short, yes we are aware of the problem, it's not
trivial :(

OK, thanks for the info. BTW 2.4.x seems to build fine on
2.6.20, but
you recommend only using it up to 2.6.18.x, is that
correct?

Did you actually try and send packets? Especailly NAT-T
packets? I
had crashes when I did that, I think something changed with
the crypto
code inside the kernel.

We also have a patch for using the nat-t patch kernel
without klips -
before we broke the netkey nat-t capability. This will go
into 2.4.8,
which I will release monday, now that we know how to move
forward
with supporting newer kernels.

Not yet, the builds are just a couple of hours fresh. I'll
mark the
packages on kernels >= 2.6.19 as "bleeding" in
ATrpms' speech. Still
if users want they can give them a try and report whether
they also
see crashes on FC6/FC5.

I'd love to hear success and non-sucess reports on those,

For now I've uploaded the builds on

http://atrpms.net/na
me/openswan/

marking the 2.6.20 builds (FC5/6) as bleeding.
