Updated the ebuild file to include support for the latest OpenVPN 2.1_rc16, including the needed patch to make OpenVPN work with eurephia (http://www.eurephia.net). This patch is enabled by adding "eurephia" to the USE flags. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: This new ebuild works as expected.

Created attachment 193133 [details] Corrected ebuild file for OpenVPN 2.1_rc16 Attached new and corrected ebuild file with correct DESCRIPTION
Created attachment 193149 [details] ebuild file for OpenVPN 2.1_rc17 Admittedly, I should of course have checked if it was an even fresher version than 2.1_rc17 ... anyway, the latest and greatest. FYI: the 2.1_rc17 was released May 30, 2009.
Thanks for providing the updated ebuilds. Just some annotations: Don't hardcode /usr/portage/distfiles into ebuilds. That's what ${DISTDIR} is for. Furthermore the whole check for the patch in src_unpack is useless. Either the USE flag is set, then portage fetches the patch anyway or stops with an error message when it cannot fetch the file or the USE flag is unset then portage won't fetch the patch of course. Try to use something like this: EUREPHIA_PATCH="openvpn-${PV}_eurephia.patch" SRC_URI="http://openvpn.net/release/openvpn-${PV}.tar.gz eurephia? ( http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/eurephia/${EUREPHIA_PATCH} )" and later in src_unpack(): use eurephia && epatch "${DISTDIR}/${EUREPHIA_PATCH}" Also consider to provide changes you did to ebuilds as unified diffs (diff -u) as this would be much more handy for our devs.

Created attachment 195631 [details] openvpn/openvpn-2.1_rc18.ebuild Add ebuild-bugfixes from #263136 and #272994.
Created attachment 195633 [details] openvpn-2.1_rc18.ebuild Add ebuild-bugfixes from #263136 and #272994. Now without the ipv6-patch ;)

openvpn-2.1_rc19 is released. Copying openvpn-2.1_rc18.ebuild to openvpn-2.1_rc19.ebuild enables this new release without any issues. Tested on x86, with USE="eurephia pam ssl". What is the release process to get this ebuild into the main repositories?
Version bump in CVS For the eurephia patch, try to ask upstream to include it.

And James Yonan (OpenVPN main developer) said in an e-mail directly that he consider that when he gets confidence in people using it. Anyway, it's plenty of patches available, and the implementation of such patches takes many years to get upstream in OpenVPN. That's just to look at the release schedule. OpenVPN 2.0 has been the stable release now since 2006-10-01. While most people on the mailing list and on IRC consider 2.1_rc15+ to be a stable release. After all, even Red Hat Enterprise Linux ship 2.1_rc15 as a stable version. And I wonder how interesting it is for James Yonan to implement this patch, as it seems to touch the grounds of OpenVPN AS (his commercial product). Do I have to create an official fork of OpenVPN to get this in into Gentoo?

IMHO it's the same problem like the ipv6-patches.
Add to openvpn-2.1_rc20
As the summary of this bug now is "net-misc/openvpn: including support for eurephia" ... I'm reopening this one, as this update do not include the eurephia support. But the rc18 ebuild file works fine with rc20 + eurephia on a couple of machines I've tested this on.

It is not included in the official OpenVPN versions. It is hopefully somewhere in a patch queue, but my hope for that right now is low. But I am maintaining this patch and releasing new versions of it for all new OpenVPN versions, continuously. Please add this patch to the Gentoo ebuild file.
