Description Jens-Uwe Peter 2010-04-26 11:17:11 UTC 
Please stabilize the vpnc networkmanager plugin. It is working well on my computers (x86, amd64).

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jens Meißner 2010-07-17 11:50:37 UTC 
version 0.7.2 works fine for me too (x86)
Comment 2 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-17 07:46:06 UTC 
This seems to be one of the more important plugins. Since we are stabilizing networkmanager-0.8 in bug 321593, let's go for this version here too.
Comment 3 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-17 08:32:22 UTC 
Does vpnc and openvpn plugins work, when they are installed simultaneously? (Blockers?)

Does vpnc plugin work with USE=-gnone in nm-applet under kde?

That is no problem. You can add vpn-connections using different clients (vpnc or openvpn in this case) via the vpn tab. 

> Does vpnc plugin work with USE=-gnone in nm-applet under kde?

No. Same as with openvpn. If USE="-gnome" is set the "add" button in the vpn tab is disfuntional. It seems like USE="-gnome" makes this plugin useless und should be masked.
Comment 5 Jens-Uwe Peter 2010-08-31 08:35:54 UTC 
I am using this plugin since several month without problems. Can we just mask the "-gnome" USE flag and go stable? Blocking bug 321593 is done for x86 and amd64.
Comment 6 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-10-25 21:10:28 UTC 
@steev+dagger: What do you think about removing the gnome use flag?
Comment 7 Faustus 2011-09-25 20:47:57 UTC 
Any progress on stabilization? vpnc and openvnp 0.8.2 work fine for me on x86 (wit +gnome, didn't test otherwise).
Comment 8 Faustus 2011-09-25 20:49:51 UTC 
Sorry, my previous comment was misleading. I have good experience with pptp and openvpn, but no experience with vpnc. Feel free to ignore, although the 3 plugins are similar in my opinion.
Comment 9 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-08-24 10:39:41 UTC 
net-misc/networkmanager-vpnc-0.9.4.0 was marked stable.
