Hi,

Just wanting to raise awareness that the OpenVPN 2.5 Beta was released last
week.  I have prepared a Fedora Copr repository for those wanting to test this
version.

<https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsommers/openvpn-beta/>

OpenVPN 2.5 will drop EPEL-6 support; it goes EOL in November anyhow and will
require a more recent OpenSSL library than 1.0.1e.

The final OpenVPN 2.5 release will hit Rawhide and will be part of the next
Fedora release.  I am pondering on adding an openvpn25 package for EPEL-7 and
EPEL-8, as this release does have some nice security enhancements.  I will not
consider this for Fedora 31/32.

If you have a possibility to test OpenVPN 2.5, or if you want to review the
spec file and packaging - we can ensure this will be a more painless upgrade
than the 2.4 upgrade was.  Packaging/.spec file issues can be taken here on
this mailing list; otherwise OpenVPN 2.5 specific issues can be discussed on
the OpenVPN developers mailing list [1] or the upstream Trac ticketing system 
[2].
