[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#700870: building eapol_test

[Christopher Hoskin]

Hello, I've been doing some work on the upstream FreeRADIUS 3 Debian
package, with a view to eventually getting it accepted into Debian (Bug
#797181).

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Amans0954

I'm currently looking at enabling build and autopkgtest tests. Upstream
have some tests which make use of eapol_test.

If eapol_test isn't available on the system, the upstream script clones the
upstream hostap repository and builds it. This isn't appropriate for a
Debian package. Including enough of the hostap source within the FreeRADIUS
Debian package to build eapol_test would not be ideal.

Therefore, I'd also like to request that Matthew Newton's patch is applied,
so that the proposed eapoltest package can be specified as a build
dependency of FreeRADIUS. The patch appears to apply and build against the
latest wpa source package trunk (on amd64 at least).

Please, would this be possible?

Thanks.

Christopher Hoskin
