Yes, I'm pretty sure it is. RHEL5 even shipped OpenVPN 2.1_rc15 for a long time as a stable release until OpenVPN released 2.1.1. In RHEL5.4/CentOS5.4, I'm pretty sure 2.1.1 is standard by now. Those releases are also pretty much in sync with the upstream OpenVPN release. No extra security fixes which is not in OpenVPN - as it should be, IMHO. From what I've seen in the Fedora builds, it's mostly distro-specific adjustments added on top of the OpenVPN 2.1.1 tarball. But I agree that using a distro-based installation, gives you the upgrades in a very convenient way. Automatically - and you get a reminder regularly. >>> and it now talking about doing the same for OS/X binaries. >> >> Recently discussed work for contrib/ produces a .dmg, very much a >> package in my view. > > Ok.

You get a Windows binary as the result. kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvWG5YACgkQDC186MBRfro2bQCfX3H740h3QErt8+fzPlwVNekk btIAn3RMwwuLQCfrrfe29SSW46nZP9Tp =XOWD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
