The versioning scheme used by Python (PEP 440) supports the rcN suffix
but development releases have to be named devN, not drN, which are
not supported and considered legacy versions.
Running or undoing start actions might require enumerating IKE_SAs,
which in turn might have to enumerate peer configs concurrently, which
requires acquiring a read lock. So if we keep holding the write lock while
enumerating the SAs we provoke a deadlock.
By preventing other threads from acquiring the write lock while handling
actions, and thus preventing the modification of the configs, we largely
maintain the current synchronous behavior. This way we also don't need to
acquire additional refs for config objects as they won't get modified/removed.
Fixes#1185.
This also restores the charon.signature_authentication_constraints
functionality, that is, if no explicit IKE signature schemes are
configured we apply all regular signature constraints as IKE constraints.
- Switch.pm, which was implemented as a source filter, has been deprecated in
Perl 5.10 and was later removed from the core modules in Perl 5.14 or so.
Unfortunately, its replacement, the given/when/default construct, has since
been downgraded to "experimental" status because of problems with the underlying
"smart-match" operator.
Thus, as of Perl 5.22, Perl still has no actually usable "switch"-like construct.
So just use boring, old and ugly "if/elsif/else" constructs instead, which are
compatible with almost any Perl version.
- None of the Perl modules here does anything that would require "AutoLoader".
- "Exporter" can be used to export plain functions into another modules name
space. But the things that were exported here are meant to be called as
methods. In this case, it is neither necessary nor advisable to export those
symbols.
Just export nothing (the POD documentation already said so).
- It is usually the calling script that enables (or does not enable) warnings
globally. When a module says "use warnings;" however, the caller looses control
over what warnings should be enabled in that module.
