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
