Meeting summary for 15 November 2023:
* *Updated: OpenVPN 2.6.7 release*
/The 2.6.7 release was made last week on November 9th 2023./
/There was a segfault crash reported that points to double check
buffer leak code./
/There was a mention of fragment 0 not working anymore (since
2.6.1). This was from documentation 12 years old. But we can still
look into handling this case better./
/There was a question from glcox on whether copr can hold older
versions as well to rollback to. There are of course always options
like using packages.openvpn.net for this or upstreaming to EPEL
repos or such. But unfortunately copr has the limitation that it
only can have one build. So there is no easy solution here with
copr. The effort involved to get another solution is stopping us at
this moment to implement a solution. dazo does mention that perhaps
modules or streams for various versions on EPEL could be a solution.
Ideally we'd have someone from EPEL repository to collaborate with./
* *New: OpenVPN 2.6.8 release*
/There is a fix available for the crash in 2.6.7. We will put this
into 2.6.8 and release soon./
/There are 2 patches from lev that will go in as well./
/Intention is to get this out this week (Friday likely)./
* *New: donations for OpenVPN community*
/There is currently no place to donate money to the community./
/The question is, do we want to allow donations? The answer is yes./
/We need to figure out how to deal with that legally, and what
payment methods to accept and how./
/Probably credit card is a must. Maybe paypal as well. Bitcoin seems
to encounter some resistance in the discussions./
/We definitely do not want the donation thing to be forced - have a
mechanism to do it, but keep it out of the way./
/Random things yelled out (to investigate): legal entity? stripe?
paypal? creditcard? open collective? github sponsors? linux
foundation? sf conservancy?/
* *Updated: Publish security assessment of OpenVPN2 codebase on main
website.*
/Expected to be published this week./
As always you're welcome to join at #openvpn-meeting on Libera IRC
network every Wednesday at 13:00 Central European Time.
Kind regards,
Johan Draaisma
