Perfect! Thanks a lot for this! I looked through the ebuild, and I see you apply two patches. Are they Gentoo specific, or is it something we should consider pulling into the the testing tree? Please have a look here for some extra details, especially pay attention to the "Configure and compile" section. <http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN/Documentation_for_testers> > This is a slotted Ebuild so that a normal openvpn version can be installed > parallel to the dev-ebuild where the bin, init-script and manpage are renamed > to openvpn-dev. with the init script you can reuse the existing configs which > will be nice for testing on productive systems.

Even though, you can shorten the commit ID down to the first ~12 bytes. Even shorter can work as well, but it might not be that unique any more. 10-14 bytes should be safe enough, though. > In march i'll try to setup a full ipv6-setup using Gert's payload-patch.

Not sure about the timeline for it yet, but there has been discussions with the Debian maintainer about this. Regarding Ubuntu, they just pick the Debian work. > best regards and big thx for spending your valuable time And thank you for getting this into Gentoo! I will even enable this one on one of my Gentoo servers where OpenVPN is already running! :) kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuFWRMACgkQDC186MBRfrr6XQCbB/FEokgQERygcevzYiwEzH07 OygAn39oyf+dAe7UI22GwJIo2lUybY4F =Z8t3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
