Even though I don't have a OSX box (nor I do I have any plans acquiring any), this looks pretty nice and cool! Would it be any possibilities that you would be willing to try to twist this into the openvpn-testing.git tree? It would sure fit well into the contrib/ collection. Maybe even do some research if it would be possible, appropriate and good to try to make autotools do a lot of this work automatically if requested? I'm not sure if this really is appropriate, but let's consider it at least. Or that when running ./configure on an identified OSX box, that it would update the contrib/ Makefile so a user can just go into the contrib/ directory and run make to get a proper OSX package. /me is just thinking out aloud :) kind regards, David Sommerseth -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvVelQACgkQDC186MBRfrpB3gCdEmal8SRyLhf/ZrK5Ub495zC+ k3oAoK1FcTi43h57qjqLCv5kpvdGVQtF =FJ38 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
