If there is no library, the new configure in 2.6.1 will not "just fall back to disable-dco" but will error-out. OTOH, there's no kernel DCO for focal (I think?) so building the userland binary without DCO is no loss.

More like "explicitly disabling DCO", because without the dependencies, configure would error-out now.

[Openvpn-users] 2.6.x pre-build packages for Ubuntu (mostly) without DCO
The release notes say: configure now enables DCO build by default on FreeBSD and Linux. On Linux this brings in a new default dependency for libnl-genl (for Linux distributions that are too old to have a suitable version of the library, use "configure --disable-dco") Now we checked this on our different ubuntu machines and found that openvpn (from the official build repos) on focal: had no DCO on kinetic: had DCO built-in So I thought that libnl-genl and libnl-3 may not be available on focal or may be a bit too old. So I checked that as well: on kinetic: # dpkg -l | grep libnl ii libnl-3-200:amd64 3.7.0-0.2 amd64 library for dealing with netlink sockets ii libnl-genl-3-200:amd643.7.0-0.2 amd64 library for dealing with netlink sockets - generic netlink (I omitted the -dev packages, since their version match) on focal: # dpkg -l |fgrep libnl ii libnl-3-200:amd64 3.4.0-1ubuntu0.1 amd64 library for dealing with netlink sockets ii libnl-genl-3-200:amd643.4.0-1ubuntu0.1 amd64 library for dealing with netlink sockets - generic netlink Now I wondered if 3.4.0 is considered too old (aka "not suitable") or if this is maybe an error in the build process? configure.ac in 2.6.1 says: PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBNL_GENL], [libnl-genl-3.0 >= 3.4.0], [have_libnl="yes"], [ AC_MSG_ERROR([libnl-genl-3.0 package not found or too old. Is the development package and pkg-config installed? Must be version 3.4.0 or newer for DCO]) ] ) According to this, 3.4.0 should suffice! So maybe the build process for the packages on https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/ is lacking a few build dependencies? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Campus Benjamin Franklin (CBF) Haus I | 1.
