I have turned this into a proper commit with all the extra references
we want to have in our codebase.

commit 864aab8a6cb9c473629bab2b6d5d0338d2d64186 (HEAD -> master)
Author: Simon Matter <[email protected]>
Date:   Thu Dec 4 15:05:27 2025 +0100

    Add CAP_SYS_NICE to the positive list in systemd service files
    
    This is necessary to make the ``--nice n`` option work for OpenVPN
    instances started by systemd.

... for the next patch, please learn how to use git for simple changes
like this - who can do a "diff -u oldfile newfile" can also do a 
"git commit ; git format-patch -1" to produce a patch with sufficient
git stuff around that I have to spend less time on it.

From there to "git send-email [email protected] -1"
it's a very small step, and then everything is nearly automatic :-)

I do understand that "git is a huge thing to learn" - and it is, but 
hardly anyone really needs to understand all the details.  For most cases,
a few commands are enough

   $ git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn.git
   $ cd openvpn
   openvpn$ vi <somefiles>
   openvpn$ git commit -s <somefiles>      # make a commit from that change
   openvpn$ git show                       # look at that commit
   openvpn$ git format-patch -1            # make a nice patch file out of it

gert

PS: yes, this is all about putting burdens on other people's shoulders -
you want us to do something, we want you to make this less time consuming
for us.
