Description Mehmet Giritli 2005-08-25 08:23:02 UTC

the current openvpn-2.01 ebuild does not give the chance to build openvpn
plugins (e.g. openvpn-auth-pam) that are quite desirable over the "script
plugins". The feature could be easily enabled with an appropriate use flag.

ebuild with useflag for plugins

I created a quick and dirty ebuild with support for building the plugins
(currently auth-pam and down-root). Maybe it can be integrated into portage.

Fixed in 2.0.2-r1

BTW, we scan the plugin dir, and build a list from that, excluding README and
examples instead of hardcoding a list.

Also, we install the plugins to /usr/lib/openvpn
