Alexander Sack said above that getting these into main and then default could be difficult because they are not as actively developed as Network Manager itself, so we could end up stuck with an old NM because of the plugins not being caught up.
The alternative would be if someone could step up to maintain the plugins packages and possibly hack them into shape so they work with new versions of Network Manager more readily...that could be quite helpful in moving things along. I don't have the skills to work on networking software, but if any of you...? I *think* it should be easier to get the command line VPN software moved to main and installed by default in the short term, so it'll at least be *easier* to get these plugins if you need to be connected to a VPN to apt-get the plugins to get on the VPN to apt-get the plugins to get on the....yay recursion! -- NetworkManager VPN plugins should be installed by default in ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
