We need to get radcli into Debian[1], backport it and have it deployed
on vogler

Future versions of reSIProcate should use this instead of
freeradius-client by default.

It provides better logging of errors and improved stability.  Upstream
is more active.

Discussed in DSA RT ticket #6015, send email to rt@rt.debian.org with
subject prefix [rt.debian.org #6015]



1. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802684

Now that we found a workaround for making freeradius-client work, it is
not as urgent to change to radcli, but it is still desirable because it
has more upstream support and better syslog messages about problems.

Process:

Wait for upstream feedback on these two issues:

https://github.com/radcli/radcli/issues/3
https://github.com/radcli/radcli/issues/5

Review packaging if necessary based on that feedback.
https://packages.qa.debian.org/r/radcli.html

Review the first installation config file migration issue for change
from freeeradius-client to radcli:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805771

This should be dealt with and the radcli package installed and we should
verify that config files appear to have the correct settings before a
newer version of reSIProcate comes through jessie-backports with a
dependency on radcli

If manual config file migration is the outcome of #805771, then copy the
necessary changes from /etc/radiusclient/* to /etc/radcli

Finally, resiprocate linked with radcli should be put into
jessie-backports and installed onto vogler.debian.org
