Bug 118797 – Please add openvpn-admin 1.9.3

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pat Double 2006-01-12 11:07:15 UTC]

OpenVPN-admin is a GUI for administrating openvpn, a userspace VPN solution. I recommend the net-misc category since that is where openvpn resides. This program requires root priviledges so I added instructions in the ebuild for setting up sudo. Other suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks!

Question: if the user sets up sudo as in the instructions, they will still need to modify the .desktop file. Should the .desktop file be modified by the ebuild, or should instructions be included to do so? I'm not sure where this stands with the security concerns.

Hmmm? RDEPEND on sudo if sudo use flag is set and let the ebuild patch the .desktop file then? Just a suggestion.

Adds "sudo" flag to REPEND on sudo and modify .desktop file to run with sudo. Does NOT modify /etc/sudoers, that is left to the user.
Fixes a bug in creating and keeping the /var/log/openvpn directory.
Adds standard files to /usr/share/doc/openvpn-admin-1.9.2/ (AUTHORS, README, etc.)

Includes use of the 'kde' use flag to prefer kdesu over sudo for gaining root priviledges. kdesu requires no config for the user, it prompts for the password when launching. Otherwise the user must configure sudo in /etc/sudoers. 'kde' use flag is preferred over 'sudo' flag.

You can inherit mono to set MONO_SHARED_DIR.

Last release upstream was on 2006-12-05. I doubt there is any sense to add this package to the tree. Reopen if you feel brave to maintain this package :)
