Comment (by ewen-naos-nz):

 I reminded by the announcement of several OpenVPN bugs this week that I'm
 still having to manually maintain my own version of the `openvpn2` port,
 to support a "`+passwordsave`"  variant, which I have to remember to
 manually update when the in-MacPorts port is updated, to avoid missing out
 on (security) updates.

 The patch is literally four lines, adding a "`passwordsave`" variant entry
 to the `Portfile`, which is entirely user opt-in, so it seems to me it
 would be entirely safe to be merged into the MacPorts version of the
 `Portfile`.  But it needs someone with commit access to merge it.  (Last
 time I asked it turned out the previous `openvpn2` port maintainer no
 longer had time for MacPorts.  It appears no one has officially taken
 over, but there have been updates to the [https://github.com/macports
 /macports-ports/blob/master/net/openvpn2/Portfile `openvpn2` Portfile] in
 the last year...)

 I've just uploaded
 [https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/51528/openvpn2-2.4.3
 -passwordsave-variant.diff openvpn2-2.4.3-passwordsave-variant.diff],
 which is an updated version of the patch that will directly apply to the
 current (2.4.3) [https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/net/openvpn2/Portfile Portfile].  Could someone with
 commit access please apply it?

 Thanks very much in advance,

 Ewen
