I have now got a tinc package which handles systemd (systemctl can be used to start and stop tincd using a service called "tinc@netname.service", where netname is the network name to be used by tinc).
I have not done anything about connman. I have looked into it and it looks hard: connman doesn't have support for tinc. The best way to make it work looks to me like pretending tinc is a supported vpn such as openconnect and providing a program that pretends to be openconnect but actually controls tinc. Connman doesn't seem to be a problem for my (limited) usage so far. I tend to use tinc only for limited periods of time, in static locations (such as hotel rooms) so there are no network changes going on for connman to decide it needs to take action. Of course, I may find out that I am wrong and I do need to do something about connman but, until that time, I am not going to try to solve that problem. I am thinking of submitting the package in its current form to Chum. Anything I ought to know before doing that? Also, while doing this I have discovered that there are a number of other standard utilities I really want on my phone (like unison). Is Chum a suitable place to submit those?
