Description Kevin 2008-10-02 06:23:49 UTC
I have created an eselect module to manage the symbolic link for the openvpn configuration file. The reason I thought this might be useful is that the post install message in the net-misc/openvpn ebuild specifically says how to manage the symlink manually.

My module looks for any .ovpn files in /etc/openvpn/ and allows the user to select one of those as the destination of the symlink.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read post install instructions for net-misc/openvpn ebuild

openvpn module

I have attached the module. I based this module off of the module that handles the kernel symlink.

If we include this, then it should be a separate package, as you have already indicated in the Summary. I don't think that the module should be included with the eselect core (i.e., app-admin/eselect).

Reassigning to maintainer-wanted and CCing cedk as openvpn maintainer.
Comment 3 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-23 13:21:10 UTC
I think the current approach with symlinking works very well, and we don't need this.
