Hi,
as I didn't get reply in the forum (well, except for that spambot who
kindly wrote on the thread), I dare to post my question again here.
I'm quite eager to contribute my work on the OpenVPN netifd integration
into the repository, but don't know which way to go.
I've thought about these possibilities:
1. Integrate stuff into existing package ('openvpn')
2. Create a new package (i.e. openvpn-netifd) and place all stuff there
3. Create a new package (i.e. openvpn-netifd) with just Makefile and
have it download the files (tarball) from a server (i.e. my webserver)
Currently I am using a local package as in 2. but it should be no
problem to convert it to 1. or 3.
Option 1 does not sound very attractive to me because it would force the
use of netifd with openvpn and would also have to be included in the
openvpn-devel package.
Option 2 sounds good, with the advantage that everybody can send patches
for the package and scripts. Disadvantage is that I would have to find
someone who commits all files (quite some) and applies modifications in
svn - or is it possible for me to get svn access to just a single
package directory?
Option 3 sounds good too, with the advantage that it would be easier for
me to modify the files, without having access to OpenWRT svn.
Disadvantage is of course that everybody would have to rely on me and my
webserver which would host the tarball.
Oh, here's the Forum thread:

Thanks for comments.
