Openswan is an Open Source software package, and as such anyone can become a developer. We welcome patches for bugs, new functionality and modifications that developers in the community contribute.

If you're looking to join in the process, here's some information to get you started:

  • Development Roapmap, so you can see both what new features are coming, and approximate timeframes for these features.
  • Anonymous CVS checkout instructions on how to get the latest code from CVS. Note that as of 2.5.0, we don't use CVS anymore - we now use GIT.
  • Public GIT checkout instructions on how to get the latest code from GIT
  • ViewCVS is available on both trees.
  • User Mode Linux is used extensively for regression testing the software. You can see the daily test results. Patches are only commited if they pass the current regression testing suite, so it's recommended that you run these tests yourself. See UML Testing at the Wiki for how to set this up yourself.
  • Developer Information from the Openswan Wiki
  • bugs and patches are reported through the Openswan BUGtracker
  • Openswan Developer Documentation is generated via Doxygen:
The developers are on IRC often, in #openswan-dev on Freenode
