Perhaps some people in the Repoforge community need to connect to a
Cisco VPN and would be interested in a spec file I recently started using:

http://github.com/pdurbin/anyconnect

The readme:

# RPM spec file for Cisco AnyConnect VPN client

The section on system requirements for Linux in the [AnyConnect release
notes][1] indicates that the only Red Hat distribution validated by
Cisco is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Desktop and that the software
"reportedly runs on 64-bit Linux, although we do not support it."

However, running `rpmbuild -ba anyconnect.spec` on the spec file in this
repo results in an RPM that is known to work on x86_64 versions of both
CentOS 6 and Fedora 16. Before building, one must download the
anyconnect-predeploy-linux tarballs from Cisco and place them in
`~/rpmbuild/SOURCES` or equivalent.

Patches are welcome, of course, and Repoforge is welcome to incorporate
this spec file into its repository.

Sincerely,

Phil

Phillip announced availability of his .spec file for the Cisco AnyConnect
package some time back, at http://github.com/pdurbin/anyconnect. I took a
look at it: the tarball can't be downloaded without a Cisco service
account, which I don't currently have. The .spec file mentions that the
software is GPLv2 licensed. Can you verify that from the anyconnect
tarball? Because if it's not licensed that way, I don't see how Repoforge
could publish the RPM or SRPM.

Note that I'm not a Repoforge admin, just someone who does a lot of RPM
bundling and has had to deal with VPN's this last year.

Please find the license below. I doubt Repoforge is allowed to publish
the RPM or SRPM but perhaps it can host the SPEC file. . .

THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT PLUS ANY ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON THE
LICENSE SET FORTH IN A SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE AGREEMENT ACCOMPANYING THE
PRODUCT (COLLECTIVELY THE "AGREEMENT"). TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CONFLICT
BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT AND ANY
SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE AGREEMENT, THE SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE AGREEMENT SHALL
APPLY. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ARE

AUTHORIZED CISCO RESELLER, AND APPLIES ONLY IF YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL END
USER PURCHASER.

THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT GOVERN CUSTOMER'S ACCESS AND USE OF
EACH CISCO OR CISCO-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE ("SOFTWARE"), EXCEPT TO THE
EXTENT: (A) THERE IS A SEPARATE SIGNED CONTRACT BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND
CISCO GOVERNING CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE, OR (B) THE SOFTWARE
INCLUDES A SEPARATE "CLICK-ACCEPT" LICENSE AGREEMENT OR THIRD PARTY
LICENSE AGREEMENT AS PART OF THE INSTALLATION AND/OR DOWNLOAD PROCESS
GOVERNING CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE. TO THE EXTENT OF A CONFLICT
BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE FOREGOING DOCUMENTS, THE ORDER OF
PRECEDENCE SHALL BE (1)THE SIGNED CONTRACT, (2) THE CLICK-ACCEPT
AGREEMENT OR THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENT, AND (3) THE AGREEMENT.

License. Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of
the Agreement, Cisco grants to Customer a nonexclusive and
nontransferable license to use for Customer's internal business purposes
the Software and the Documentation for which Customer has paid the
required license fees. "Documentation" means written information
(whether contained in user or technical manuals, training materials,
specifications or otherwise) pertaining to the Software and made
available by Cisco with the Software in any manner (including on CD-Rom,
or on-line). In order to use the Software, Customer may be required to
input a registration number or product authorization key and register
Customer's copy of the Software online at Cisco's website to obtain the
necessary license key or license file.
Customer's license to use the Software shall be limited to, and Customer
shall not use the Software in excess of, a single hardware chassis or
card or such other limitations as are set forth in the applicable
Supplemental License Agreement or in the applicable purchase order which
has been accepted by Cisco and for which Customer has paid to Cisco the
required license fee (the "Purchase Order").

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Documentation or any
applicable Supplemental License Agreement, Customer shall use the
Software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the
applicable Documentation permits installation on non-Cisco equipment)
for communication with Cisco equipment owned or leased by Customer and
used for Customer's internal business purposes. No other licenses are
granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise. For evaluation or beta
copies for which Cisco does not charge a license fee, the above
requirement to pay license fees does not apply.

General Limitations. This is a license, not a transfer of title, to the
Software and Documentation, and Cisco retains ownership of all copies of
the Software and Documentation. Customer acknowledges that the Software
and Documentation contain trade secrets of Cisco or its suppliers or
licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and
structure of individual programs and associated interface information.
Except as otherwise expressly provided under the Agreement, Customer
shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:

(i) transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other
person or entity (other than in compliance with any Cisco
relicensing/transfer policy then in force), or use the Software on
unauthorized or secondhand Cisco equipment, and Customer acknowledges
that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void;

(ii) make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software
or create derivative works based upon the Software, or permit third
parties to do the same;

(iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise
reduce the Software to human-readable form, except to the extent
otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding this
restriction;

(iv) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Software;

(v) use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third
parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise,
without the express written authorization of Cisco; or

(vi) disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets
contained within the Software and Documentation in any form to any third
party without the prior written consent of Cisco. Customer shall
implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets.

To the extent required by applicable law, and at Customer's written
request, Cisco shall provide Customer with the interface information
needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another
independently created program, on payment of Cisco's applicable fee, if
any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with
respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance
with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Cisco makes such
information available.

Software, Upgrades and Additional Copies. For purposes of the Agreement,
"Software" shall include (and the terms and conditions of the Agreement
shall apply to) computer programs, including firmware, as provided to
Customer by Cisco or an authorized Cisco reseller, and any upgrades,
updates, bug fixes or modified versions thereto (collectively,
"Upgrades") or backup copies of any of the foregoing. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT: (1) CUSTOMER HAS NO LICENSE OR
RIGHT TO MAKE OR USE ANY ADDITIONAL COPIES OR UPGRADES UNLESS CUSTOMER,
AT THE TIME OF MAKING OR ACQUIRING SUCH COPY OR UPGRADE, ALREADY HOLDS A
VALID LICENSE TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND HAS PAID THE APPLICABLE FEE
FOR THE UPGRADE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES; (2) USE OF UPGRADES IS LIMITED TO
CISCO EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH CUSTOMER IS THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER OR
LESSEE OR OTHERWISE HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE WHICH IS
BEING UPGRADED; AND (3) THE MAKING AND USE OF ADDITIONAL COPIES IS
LIMITED TO NECESSARY BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY.

Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all
copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of
the Software in the same form and manner that such copyright and other
proprietary notices are included on the Software. Except as expressly
authorized in the Agreement, Customer shall not make any copies or
duplicates of any Software without the prior written permission of Cisco.

Term and Termination. The Agreement and the license granted herein shall
remain effective until terminated. Customer may terminate the Agreement
and the license at any time by destroying all copies of Software and any
Documentation. Customer's rights under the Agreement will terminate
immediately without notice from Cisco if Customer fails to comply with
any provision of the Agreement. Upon termination, Customer shall destroy
all copies of Software and Documentation in its possession or control.
All confidentiality obligations of Customer and all limitations of
liability and disclaimers and restrictions of warranty shall survive
termination of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of the
sections titled "U.S. Government End User Purchasers" and "General Terms
Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User License
Agreement" shall survive termination of the Agreement.

Customer Records. Customer grants to Cisco and its independent
accountants the right to examine Customer's books, records and accounts
during Customer's normal business hours to verify compliance with this
Agreement. In the event such audit discloses non-compliance with this
Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to Cisco the appropriate license
fees, plus the reasonable cost of conducting the audit.

Export, Re-Export, Transfer and Use Controls. The Software,
Documentation and technology or direct products thereof (hereafter
referred to as Software and Technology), supplied by Cisco under the
Agreement are subject to export controls under the laws and regulations
of the United States (U.S.) and any other applicable countries' laws and
regulations. Customer shall comply with such laws and regulations
governing export, re-export, transfer and use of Cisco Software and
Technology and will obtain all required U.S. and local authorizations,
permits, or licenses. Cisco and Customer each agree to provide the other
information, support documents, and assistance as may reasonably be
required by the other in connection with securing authorizations or
licenses. Information regarding compliance with export, re-export,
transfer and use may be located at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/global_export_trade/general_export/contract_compliance.html.

U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software and Documentation
qualify as "commercial items," as that term is defined at Federal
Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of
"commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software
documentation" as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR
12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and
notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the
contrary in any agreement into which the Agreement may be incorporated,
Customer may provide to Government end user or, if the Agreement is
direct, Government end user will acquire, the Software and Documentation
with only those rights set forth in the Agreement. Use of either the
Software or Documentation or both constitutes agreement by the
Government that the Software and Documentation are "commercial computer
software" and "commercial computer software documentation," and
constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.

Limited Warranty

Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, Cisco
warrants that commencing from the date of shipment to Customer (but in
case of resale by an authorized Cisco reseller, commencing not more than
ninety (90) days after original shipment by Cisco), and continuing for a
period of the longer of (a) ninety (90) days or (b) the warranty period
(if any) expressly set forth as applicable specifically to software in
the warranty card accompanying the product of which the Software is a
part (the "Product") (if any): (a) the media on which the Software is
furnished will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under
normal use; and (b) the Software substantially conforms to the
Documentation. The date of shipment of a Product by Cisco is set forth
on the packaging material in which the Product is shipped. Except for
the foregoing, the Software is provided "AS IS". This limited warranty
extends only to the Customer who is the original licensee. Customer's
sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Cisco and its
suppliers under this limited warranty will be (i) replacement of
defective media and/or (ii) at Cisco's option, repair, replacement, or
refund of the purchase price of the Software, in both cases subject to
the condition that any error or defect constituting a breach of this
limited warranty is reported to Cisco or the party supplying the
Software to Customer, if different than Cisco, within the warranty
period. Cisco or the party supplying the Software to Customer may, at
its option, require return of the Software and/or Documentation as a
condition to the remedy. In no event does Cisco warrant that the
Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the
Software without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the
continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking
networks, Cisco does not warrant that the Software or any equipment,
system or network on which the Software is used will be free of
vulnerability to intrusion or attack.

Restrictions. This warranty does not apply if the Software, Product or
any other equipment upon which the Software is authorized to be used (a)
has been altered, except by Cisco or its authorized representative, (b)
has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance
with instructions supplied by Cisco, (c) has been subjected to abnormal
physical or electrical stress, abnormal environmental conditions,
misuse, negligence, or accident; or (d) is licensed for beta,
evaluation, testing or demonstration purposes. The Software warranty
also does not apply to (e) any temporary Software modules; or (f) any
Software for which Cisco does not receive a license fee.

Phillip announced availability of his .spec file for the Cisco AnyConnect
package some time back, at http://github.com/pdurbin/anyconnect. I took a
look at it: the tarball can't be downloaded without a Cisco service
account, which I don't currently have. The .spec file mentions that the
software is GPLv2 licensed. Can you verify that from the anyconnect
tarball? Because if it's not licensed that way, I don't see how Repoforge
could publish the RPM or SRPM.
Note that I'm not a Repoforge admin, just someone who does a lot of RPM
bundling and has had to deal with VPN's this last year.
Please find the license below. I doubt Repoforge is allowed to publish
the RPM or SRPM but perhaps it can host the SPEC file. . .

THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT PLUS ANY ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON THE
LICENSE SET FORTH IN A SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE AGREEMENT ACCOMPANYING THE
PRODUCT (COLLECTIVELY THE "AGREEMENT"). TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CONFLICT
BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT AND ANY
SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE AGREEMENT, THE SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE AGREEMENT SHALL
APPLY. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ARE

AUTHORIZED CISCO RESELLER, AND APPLIES ONLY IF YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL END
USER PURCHASER.

THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT GOVERN CUSTOMER'S ACCESS AND USE OF
EACH CISCO OR CISCO-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE ("SOFTWARE"), EXCEPT TO THE
EXTENT: (A) THERE IS A SEPARATE SIGNED CONTRACT BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND
CISCO GOVERNING CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE, OR (B) THE SOFTWARE
INCLUDES A SEPARATE "CLICK-ACCEPT" LICENSE AGREEMENT OR THIRD PARTY
LICENSE AGREEMENT AS PART OF THE INSTALLATION AND/OR DOWNLOAD PROCESS
GOVERNING CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE. TO THE EXTENT OF A CONFLICT
BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THE FOREGOING DOCUMENTS, THE ORDER OF
PRECEDENCE SHALL BE (1)THE SIGNED CONTRACT, (2) THE CLICK-ACCEPT
AGREEMENT OR THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENT, AND (3) THE AGREEMENT.

License. Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of
the Agreement, Cisco grants to Customer a nonexclusive and
nontransferable license to use for Customer's internal business purposes
the Software and the Documentation for which Customer has paid the
required license fees. "Documentation" means written information
(whether contained in user or technical manuals, training materials,
specifications or otherwise) pertaining to the Software and made
available by Cisco with the Software in any manner (including on CD-Rom,
or on-line). In order to use the Software, Customer may be required to
input a registration number or product authorization key and register
Customer's copy of the Software online at Cisco's website to obtain the
necessary license key or license file.
Customer's license to use the Software shall be limited to, and Customer
shall not use the Software in excess of, a single hardware chassis or
card or such other limitations as are set forth in the applicable
Supplemental License Agreement or in the applicable purchase order which
has been accepted by Cisco and for which Customer has paid to Cisco the
required license fee (the "Purchase Order").

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Documentation or any
applicable Supplemental License Agreement, Customer shall use the
Software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the
applicable Documentation permits installation on non-Cisco equipment)
for communication with Cisco equipment owned or leased by Customer and
used for Customer's internal business purposes. No other licenses are
granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise. For evaluation or beta
copies for which Cisco does not charge a license fee, the above
requirement to pay license fees does not apply.

General Limitations. This is a license, not a transfer of title, to the
Software and Documentation, and Cisco retains ownership of all copies of
the Software and Documentation. Customer acknowledges that the Software
and Documentation contain trade secrets of Cisco or its suppliers or
licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and
structure of individual programs and associated interface information.
Except as otherwise expressly provided under the Agreement, Customer
shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:

(i) transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other
person or entity (other than in compliance with any Cisco
relicensing/transfer policy then in force), or use the Software on
unauthorized or secondhand Cisco equipment, and Customer acknowledges
that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void;

(ii) make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software
or create derivative works based upon the Software, or permit third
parties to do the same;

(iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise
reduce the Software to human-readable form, except to the extent
otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding this
restriction;

(iv) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Software;

(v) use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third
parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise,
without the express written authorization of Cisco; or

(vi) disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets
contained within the Software and Documentation in any form to any third
party without the prior written consent of Cisco. Customer shall
implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets.

To the extent required by applicable law, and at Customer's written
request, Cisco shall provide Customer with the interface information
needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another
independently created program, on payment of Cisco's applicable fee, if
any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with
respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance
with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Cisco makes such
information available.

Software, Upgrades and Additional Copies. For purposes of the Agreement,
"Software" shall include (and the terms and conditions of the Agreement
shall apply to) computer programs, including firmware, as provided to
Customer by Cisco or an authorized Cisco reseller, and any upgrades,
updates, bug fixes or modified versions thereto (collectively,
"Upgrades") or backup copies of any of the foregoing. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT: (1) CUSTOMER HAS NO LICENSE OR
RIGHT TO MAKE OR USE ANY ADDITIONAL COPIES OR UPGRADES UNLESS CUSTOMER,
AT THE TIME OF MAKING OR ACQUIRING SUCH COPY OR UPGRADE, ALREADY HOLDS A
VALID LICENSE TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND HAS PAID THE APPLICABLE FEE
FOR THE UPGRADE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES; (2) USE OF UPGRADES IS LIMITED TO
CISCO EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH CUSTOMER IS THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER OR
LESSEE OR OTHERWISE HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE WHICH IS
BEING UPGRADED; AND (3) THE MAKING AND USE OF ADDITIONAL COPIES IS
LIMITED TO NECESSARY BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY.

Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all
copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of
the Software in the same form and manner that such copyright and other
proprietary notices are included on the Software. Except as expressly
authorized in the Agreement, Customer shall not make any copies or
duplicates of any Software without the prior written permission of Cisco.

Term and Termination. The Agreement and the license granted herein shall
remain effective until terminated. Customer may terminate the Agreement
and the license at any time by destroying all copies of Software and any
Documentation. Customer's rights under the Agreement will terminate
immediately without notice from Cisco if Customer fails to comply with
any provision of the Agreement. Upon termination, Customer shall destroy
all copies of Software and Documentation in its possession or control.
All confidentiality obligations of Customer and all limitations of
liability and disclaimers and restrictions of warranty shall survive
termination of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of the
sections titled "U.S. Government End User Purchasers" and "General Terms
Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User License
Agreement" shall survive termination of the Agreement.

Customer Records. Customer grants to Cisco and its independent
accountants the right to examine Customer's books, records and accounts
during Customer's normal business hours to verify compliance with this
Agreement. In the event such audit discloses non-compliance with this
Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to Cisco the appropriate license
fees, plus the reasonable cost of conducting the audit.

Export, Re-Export, Transfer and Use Controls. The Software,
Documentation and technology or direct products thereof (hereafter
referred to as Software and Technology), supplied by Cisco under the
Agreement are subject to export controls under the laws and regulations
of the United States (U.S.) and any other applicable countries' laws and
regulations. Customer shall comply with such laws and regulations
governing export, re-export, transfer and use of Cisco Software and
Technology and will obtain all required U.S. and local authorizations,
permits, or licenses. Cisco and Customer each agree to provide the other
information, support documents, and assistance as may reasonably be
required by the other in connection with securing authorizations or
licenses. Information regarding compliance with export, re-export,
transfer and use may be located at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/global_export_trade/general_export/contract_compliance.html.

U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software and Documentation
qualify as "commercial items," as that term is defined at Federal
Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of
"commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software
documentation" as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR
12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and
notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the
contrary in any agreement into which the Agreement may be incorporated,
Customer may provide to Government end user or, if the Agreement is
direct, Government end user will acquire, the Software and Documentation
with only those rights set forth in the Agreement. Use of either the
Software or Documentation or both constitutes agreement by the
Government that the Software and Documentation are "commercial computer
software" and "commercial computer software documentation," and
constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.

Limited Warranty

Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, Cisco
warrants that commencing from the date of shipment to Customer (but in
case of resale by an authorized Cisco reseller, commencing not more than
ninety (90) days after original shipment by Cisco), and continuing for a
period of the longer of (a) ninety (90) days or (b) the warranty period
(if any) expressly set forth as applicable specifically to software in
the warranty card accompanying the product of which the Software is a
part (the "Product") (if any): (a) the media on which the Software is
furnished will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under
normal use; and (b) the Software substantially conforms to the
Documentation. The date of shipment of a Product by Cisco is set forth
on the packaging material in which the Product is shipped. Except for
the foregoing, the Software is provided "AS IS". This limited warranty
extends only to the Customer who is the original licensee. Customer's
sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Cisco and its
suppliers under this limited warranty will be (i) replacement of
defective media and/or (ii) at Cisco's option, repair, replacement, or
refund of the purchase price of the Software, in both cases subject to
the condition that any error or defect constituting a breach of this
limited warranty is reported to Cisco or the party supplying the
Software to Customer, if different than Cisco, within the warranty
period. Cisco or the party supplying the Software to Customer may, at
its option, require return of the Software and/or Documentation as a
condition to the remedy. In no event does Cisco warrant that the
Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the
Software without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the
continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking
networks, Cisco does not warrant that the Software or any equipment,
system or network on which the Software is used will be free of
vulnerability to intrusion or attack.

Restrictions. This warranty does not apply if the Software, Product or
any other equipment upon which the Software is authorized to be used (a)
has been altered, except by Cisco or its authorized representative, (b)
has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance
with instructions supplied by Cisco, (c) has been subjected to abnormal
physical or electrical stress, abnormal environmental conditions,
misuse, negligence, or accident; or (d) is licensed for beta,
evaluation, testing or demonstration purposes. The Software warranty
also does not apply to (e) any temporary Software modules; or (f) any
Software for which Cisco does not receive a license fee.

This sort of wackiness is why I know many facilities that refuse to use
Cisco VPN tools, as too fragile and too unpredictable. I've even helped
companies set up PPTP, not because it's profoundly superior, but because
it's more stable and built into systems rather than requiring out-of-band
and thus unsupportable system configuration.

The program package comes from the ASA you are connecting to.

Philip,
We are not going to include anyconnect into RF repository. I don't
think we are granted to redistribute it this way.

Is this pacakge supposed to be better than vpnc and the network
manager vpnc frontend? Or are you specifically avoiding this
particular package? On my Ubuntu desktop, they work quite well
connecting in to our ipsec tunnels on our PIX. You can't use split
firewalls for ipsec tunnels though, which sucks, had to set up a
special PIX just for the vpn's.

Perhaps some people in the Repoforge community need to connect to a
Cisco VPN and would be interested in a spec file I recently started using:

http://github.com/pdurbin/anyconnect

The readme:

# RPM spec file for Cisco AnyConnect VPN client

The section on system requirements for Linux in the [AnyConnect release
notes][1] indicates that the only Red Hat distribution validated by
Cisco is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Desktop and that the software
"reportedly runs on 64-bit Linux, although we do not support it."

However, running `rpmbuild -ba anyconnect.spec` on the spec file in this
repo results in an RPM that is known to work on x86_64 versions of both
CentOS 6 and Fedora 16. Before building, one must download the
anyconnect-predeploy-linux tarballs from Cisco and place them in
`~/rpmbuild/SOURCES` or equivalent.

[1]:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect30/release/notes/anyconnect30rn.html#wp949967

Patches are welcome, of course, and Repoforge is welcome to incorporate
this spec file into its repository.

Sincerely,

Phil

Phillip announced availability of his .spec file for the Cisco AnyConnect
package some time back, at http://github.com/pdurbin/anyconnect. I took a
look at it: the tarball can't be downloaded without a Cisco service
account, which I don't currently have. The .spec file mentions that the
software is GPLv2 licensed. Can you verify that from the anyconnect
tarball? Because if it's not licensed that way, I don't see how Repoforge
could publish the RPM or SRPM.

Note that I'm not a Repoforge admin, just someone who does a lot of RPM
bundling and has had to deal with VPN's this last year.
