Bug 98782 – iproute2 USE flag for openvpn 2.0 ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description [e-mail] 2005-07-12 08:29:11 UTC]

I've been moving toward using iproute2 command exclusively on my system and have
just goteen to openvpn.  According to the "Optional Features: section of the
file "configure" in the openvpn tarball:

  --enable-iproute2       Enable support for iproute2

This is backed up (somewhat) on the openvpn.net site at:

http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2005-01/msg00513.html

I have created a patch to the openvpn-2.0-r1.ebuild which adds this support.

I have also tested this on three systems:  P4, Athlon-XP, AMD64 with a single
server config and everything seems to work ok.  Startup includes:
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: TUN/TAP device tun0 opened
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: TUN/TAP TX queue length
set to 100
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: /sbin/ip link set dev
tun0 up mtu 1500
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: /sbin/ip addr add dev
tun0 local 10.1.1.3 peer 10.1.1.4
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: /sbin/ip route add
10.1.1.0/24 via 10.1.1.4
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: GID set to vpn
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: UID set to vpn
Jul 12 09:18:54 myclient openvpn-client-myserver[23368]: Initialization Sequence
Completed

and i've used this setup for several days.
