Re: [Openvpn-devel] sbuild_wrapper: please unify service rules with openvpn repository

Hi Samuli,

Some background first:



Now the questions:


Am 06.09.18 um 14:25 schrieb Samuli Seppänen:

I'm currently building new openvpn servers and want to start using this packages sources. I think about using the current debian stable or the current Ubuntu LTS (18.04). In the past I used to use the distribution supplied openvpn packages, but these are usually quite outdated.

Also, we don't have packages for Ubuntu 18.04 yet.

May I ask what is stopping this?

Or let's rephrase it: What kind and/or amount of support is needed to get this done?

That is exactly what my report here is about, it currently ships very old 
service files.
Not from the repo, nor the last ones from Debian/Ubuntu - older than both 
actually

Is there any progress with this?
I would prefer using openvpn packages with recent systemd service files.



The docs at CreatingUnixPackages [1] should be updated.


Is it correct, that the official builds are made using sbuild_wrapper [3]?

Kind regards,

What needs to be done to switch to the recent systemd files? Only copying? What kind of testing? It still refers to your fork of openvpn-build [2], but I'm unable to find any build scripts or the mentioned "debian/README" there. And then the workflow there is to copy the files from the distribution source packages and rebuild with more recent openvpn (with some changes to the files of the distribution build env)? And last, but not least: Thank you very much for all the work you already did for us!
