This issue was opened on GitLab 1 week ago: https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/655 There's also a merge request in progress attempting to add `--background` on Windows. This is difficult due to the fact that Windows uses a very different process model from POSIX-y systems. > Last but not least, you may want to note that the links to "master branch for > 32-bit Windows or for 64-bit Windows" on > > https://www.infradead.org/openconnect/packages.html > > are broken. See the discussions on https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/498 and https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/621 It's very hard to convince GitLab's CI to persist the artifacts that it builds for us, and the required URL format keeps changing. 🤕 > The "Fedora dwmw2/openconnect COPR" mentioned in the next > paragraph actually work--although it was a bit of an adventure to manage to > unpack the multiple layers of archives and compressions to finally get to the > single meaningful file inside the RPM. Yep, the COPR links *are* stored reliably, but it is indeed difficult to extract those files, and it'll definitely scare away some Windows users https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/498#note_1128691313 Daniel _______________________________________________ openconnect-devel mailing list openconnect-devel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/openconnect-devel
