Hi, I maintain the Debian/Ubuntu packages for OpenVPN.

In some cases, though, the packaging files may be from a package meant for a (slightly) older operating system version. Do you happen to have a diff at hand? I would not mind updating the service files if the changes are fairly minor or fix a bug. But I don't want to break setups that depend on the behavior of the outdated service files. Also, we don't have packages for Ubuntu 18.04 yet. So using the packaging files from Ubuntu's repositories makes perfect sense there and can't break anything. > P.S. those upstream debs are AFAIK built by [7] That is correct. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock > [1]: > http://build.openvpn.net/debian/openvpn/release/2.4/pool/xenial/main/o/openvpn/ > [2]: > https://github.com/OpenVPN/sbuild_wrapper/tree/master/packaging/xenial/debian > [3]: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos > [4]: > https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/distro/systemd/openvpn-server%40.service.in > [5]: https://salsa.debian.org/paelzer-guest/openvpn > [6]: > https://code.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+git/openvpn/+ref/ubuntu/devel > <https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eusd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+git/openvpn/+ref/ubuntu/devel> > [7]: https://github.com/OpenVPN/sbuild_wrapper > > -- > Christian Ehrhardt > Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server > Canonical Ltd > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > > > > _______________________________________________ > Openvpn-devel mailing list > Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel >
