Hi all, The four new apt repositories described above are now available. Instructions for setting them up are here: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos> OpenVPN 2.4_alpha2 is available in "release/2.4" and "testing" OpenVPN 2.3.12 is available in "release/2.3" and "stable Once the new repos have been online for a while and are proven to work, I will look into redirecting requests to the old swupdate repository to the new "release/2.3" repository. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
