Requesting a version bump of net-vpn/openvpn to version 2.5.0. net-tools support has been dropped, default is using netlink. --disable-crypto has been removed. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 673369 [details] new ebuild
Fixed.
There is actually an issue with this ebuild. OpenVPN-2.5.0 apparently has a bug which prevents the install scipt from copying the manpage at the right place in the system. This bug can be described as: "if there are no py-docutils installed (or found), openvpn does not install the manpage, even if the openvpn.8 file is readily available". There are 2 options to move forward: 1) have the ebuild copy the manpage at the right place 2) apply commit bbac1542cfb4a9d3033999b26813f0dd0618c3f0 from the openvpn repo (currently staged for inclusion in 2.5.1) (Adding a dependency on py-docutils does not make sense because, it is not really needed. This is a bug in the install script)

This is a bug in the install script) Does that actually work for you? The tarball comes with doc/openvpn.8.rst but no openvpn.8 so even with patching there's no manpage to install without py-docutils being found and used. At least for me this makes the ebuild fail in the install phase. I can get the patched build to complete if I seed the environment with RST2MAN=/usr/bin/rst2man.py (so that it finds the binary, it doesn't expect the .py) and also RST2HTML=/usr/bin/rst2html.py (so that it accepts I have the py-docutils installed and uses them.) Those both come from dev-python/docutils. Then again, I'm not seeing any bugs posted about build failures so this might be something local to my machine.
Hi, which tarball are you using, with which md5 sum? I checked the tarballs from https://openvpn.net/community-downloads-2/ with the following md5 sums ("openssl md5 ...") MD5(openvpn-2.5.0.tar.xz)= ba426e2217833b522810d6c06f7cc8f7 MD5(openvpn-2.5.0.tar.gz)= 2d42d3c2fff942bfe9eefa41cfd6f123 and they both contain the openvpn.8 $ tar tvfJ openvpn-2.5.0.tar.xz |grep openvpn.8 -rw-rw-r-- 1000/1000 252258 2020-10-28 08:25 openvpn-2.5.0/doc/openvpn.8 -rw-rw-r-- 1000/1000 4203 2020-10-28 08:25 openvpn-2.5.0/doc/openvpn.8.rst -rw-rw-r-- 1000/1000 361268 2020-10-28 08:25 openvpn-2.5.0/doc/openvpn.8.html so, obviously "something went wrong", we need to find and fix it. gert
OK, so it turns out the tarballs from github are broken, and the ebuild fetches from there. Not sure why it does that - the official repo for the releases is not github, but either of https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/${P}.tar.gz https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/{$P}.tar.gz and they both also have a detached GPG sig (.asc) which validates correctly. Now *why* there are incomplete ("built on a machine without py-docutils") tarballs on github is something for us (OpenVPN upstream) to investigate.

Copyright: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. Wtf? Why?
Also: why did the + in +openssl get dropped?
