Yes, the instructions on that web page are very detailed and I would need some 
time to read, understand and process them. Thank you for keeping good 
documentation on OpenVPN for posterity. I hope that similar efforts be made to 
guide us on how to compile OpenVPN for Microsoft Windows OS, including how to 
compile OpenVPN-GUI for more than 50 config files.

I respect your decision and am sorry if my original statements in my earlier 
post have caused some misunderstanding. And do not worry: us learning how to 
build OpenVPN from source just the way you do it will not lead to a 
proliferation of fake OpenVPN builds, all purporting to be the official release 
by Samuli.

My intention is to learn how to build OpenVPN for Debian/Ubuntu from source and 
who is better placed to show me the method except you.

I have a question for you: What exactly are Debian control files that you had 
mentioned in one of your earlier posts? You do not provide a definition of the 
term in your guide to the packaging/build system on GitHub.

Would you like to add the above advice to your guide on GitHub?

Best regards.
