I would like to know the best way to get *away* from the build.openvpn.net repository to the ubuntu 18 repository in preparation for doing the release upgrade. Do I do the following? ---- sudo apt remove openvpn or sudo apt purge openvpn Then remove the files /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvpn* Followed by sudo apt install openvpn ----- Or is the better way to: ---- Leave things as they are and do the release upgrade and then check if openvpn was migrated or not in the migrated server. If not then just install it using apt without any separate openvpn repositories? If it is working still but on 2.4.7 then try to move back to the ubuntu repositories somehow. ---- -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
