*************************************************************************
-BUILDING ON LINUX 2.6+ FROM RPM
+Linux distribution packaging:
-You can build a binary RPM directly from the OpenVPN tarball file:
+Each Linux distribution has their own way of doing packaging and their
+own set of guidelines of how proper packaging should be done. It
+is therefore recommended to reach out to the Linux distributions you
+want to have OpenVPN packaged for directly. The OpenVPN project wants
+to focus more on the OpenVPN development and less on the packaging
+and how packaging is done in all various distributions.
- rpmbuild -tb [tarball]
+For more details:
-This command will build a binary RPM file and place it in the system
-RPM directory. You can then install the RPM with the standard RPM
-install command:
+* Arch Linux
+ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=openvpn
- rpm -ivh [binary-rpm]
+* Debian
+ https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openvpn&searchon=names
+ https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openvpn
-When you install the binary RPM, it will install
-sample-scripts/openvpn.init, which can be used to
-automatically start or stop one or more OpenVPN tunnels on system
-startup or shutdown, based on OpenVPN .conf files in /etc/openvpn.
-See the comments in openvpn.init for more information.
+* Fedora / Fedora EPEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS/Scientific Linux)
+ https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/openvpn/overview/
+ https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openvpn
-Installing the RPM will also configure the TUN/TAP device node
-for linux 2.6.
+* Gentoo
+ https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-vpn/openvpn
+ https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-vpn/openvpn
-Note that the current openvpn.spec file, which instructs the rpm tool
-how to build a package, will build OpenVPN with all options enabled,
-including OpenSSL, LZO, and pthread linkage. Therefore all of
-these packages will need to be present prior to the RPM build, unless
-you edit the openvpn.spec file.
+* openSUSE
+ https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network:vpn/openvpn
+
+* Ubuntu
+ https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openvpn
+
+In addition, the OpenVPN community provides a best-effort APT repository
+for Debian and Ubuntu:
+https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos

-
-# Author's Notes:
-#
-# I have created an /etc/init.d init script and enhanced openvpn.spec to
-# automatically register the init script. Once the RPM is installed you
-# can start and stop OpenVPN with "service openvpn start" and "service
-# openvpn stop".
-#
-# The init script does the following:
-#
-# - Starts an openvpn process for each .conf file it finds in
-# /etc/openvpn.
-#
-# - If /etc/openvpn/xxx.sh exists for a xxx.conf file then it executes
-# it before starting openvpn (useful for doing openvpn --mktun...).
-#
-# - In addition to start/stop you can do:
-#
-# service openvpn reload - SIGHUP
-# service openvpn reopen - SIGUSR1
-# service openvpn status - SIGUSR2
-#
-# Modifications:
-#
-# 2003.05.02
-# * Changed == to = for sh compliance (Bishop Clark).
-# * If condrestart|reload|reopen|status, check that we were
-# actually started (James Yonan).
-# * Added lock, piddir, and work variables (James Yonan).
-# * If start is attempted twice, without an intervening stop, or
-# if start is attempted when previous start was not properly
-# shut down, then kill any previously started processes, before
-# commencing new start operation (James Yonan).
-# * Do a better job of flagging errors on start, and properly
-# returning success or failure status to caller (James Yonan).
-#

Linux packaging is quite a comprehensive task these days, with many Linux distributions and each with their own packaging guidelines. In addition OpenVPN is packaged for most important Linux distributions already. The OpenVPN developers is not capable of keeping track of how all the various recommend packaging guidelines evoloves and our RPM build process is no longer consistent with guidelines from Fedora, RHEL or SUSE packaging. We also don't receive any updates improving this situation. Most likely due to packaging being handled fairly well by the Linux distributions directly. In addition comes systemd into play, which more and more Linux distributions embraces - and even our own RPM openvpn.spec file didn't account for that move. This removes all RPM related packaging files and updates the INSTALL file with pointers to several popular Linux distributions with accessible information of the OpenVPN packages they provide. Linux distributions is most likely much better at keeping the packaging up-to-shape much better than we.
