Hey guix, Seeing as a lot of people might be working from home at the moment, it seems a good moment to look at issues that might prevent us from using guix for that exact purpose. Right now, I can not connect to my company vpn, which make several processes much more difficult than they need to be.
The issue with network-manager-l2tp is that because of licensing incompatibilities, version built with OpenSSL < 3.0 cannot be redistributed in binary form. As people informed me previously at [1], it seems that it is currently not possible to prevent the distribution of substitutes using guix. I still would like to get network-manager-l2tp packaged, as well as make a simple service definition available. A hack that would allow us to truly disable substitutions of certain store paths is a solution. Another option is to simply wait until OpenSSL 3.0 is released, although this might still take until Q4 of 2020 [3]. Any ideas? - Jelle [1]: http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2019-10-15.log#171645 [2]: https://github.com/nm-l2tp/NetworkManager-l2tp [3]: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2019/11/07/3.0-update/
