Thomas Haller commented on a discussion: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/586#note_1135067 Historic reasons. NetworkManager (the core package) is both a GNOME and a freedesktop project. That is, we use gitlab.freedesktop.org but the mailinglist and https://download.gnome.org/sources/NetworkManager/ from GNOME. I guess the idea of this was that NetworkManager (core) is not only relevant for GNOME desktop and that freedesktop.org would the organization for fixing bug 1 and making year of Linux Desktop. I am too young for this :) network-manager-applet, libnma and most (all?) VPN plugins are strictly GNOME projects. This inconsistency doesn't really bother me and I would avoid investing the (substantial) work of moving projects around. --- I don't know about NetworkManager-pptp. If PPTP is insecure and shouldn't be used, then that is the users (recommended) choice by not using NetworkManager-pptp. I don't think we need to enforce that by making it harder to use it. Also, I don't think people make the active choice to run a PPTP Linux hosted VPN services. Instead, it might be a company that requires the user to use it. At this point, the user still has the choice to not use PPTP and open an issue with that company. But if a user really really wants, I think we should try to make that possible (at least, as far as an implementation exists). Granted, the project saw *very* little activity in the past few years. That might mean nobody is using it (good) or it just works (also good). Hard to say which is the case, but again, I am fine with still having the project there. If you have more knowledge about PPTP, what would be good to have the README explain the problems and make good recommendations. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitLab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/586#note_1135067 You're receiving this email because of your account on gitlab.gnome.org.
