Package: openvpn Version: 2.1~rc7-1 Followup-For: Bug #475353 Hi again,
openvpn switched from built-in code to the pkcs11-helper library between 2.1_rc4 and 2.1_rc7, but this dependency is missing in the current Debian package. The configure script therefore disables all pkcs11-related options. Rebuilding the Debian package with libpkcs11-helper1-dev installed restores the pkcs11 functionality. This switch to the pkcs11-helper library can be expected to break existing configuration files because a number of options were removed or redefined (pkcs11-slot-type, pkcs11-slot, pkcs11-id-type, pkcs11-id). It might be worthwhile to add an entry to the NEWS file to make people aware of this. The new usage of --pkcs11-providers and --pkcs11-id is described in detail here: http://openvpn.net/howto.html?forward=no#pkcs11_openvpn_config (The new manpage is not very explicit about this point.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
