closed: verify signature page
During the revamp of the community pages on the main
openvpn.net website the instructions on how to verify the GPG
signature was lost.
We brought it back under the community.openvpn.net wiki's
downloads page here; https://community.openvpn.net/Downloads/Verify%20signature
New,
closed: gerrit updated
Gerrit review system was updated. If there are any issues
please let uddr35 know on IRC.
Updated:
wolfSSL license changed from gplv2 to gplv3
The release notes of wolfSSL indicate the license changed to
GPLv3. This basically makes wolfSSL incompatible in regards to
licensing with OpenVPN.
We reached out to WolfSSL and we got back a response
indicating that other parties have also expressed similar
concerns and an exception may be considered.
We are still waiting for a resolution, it has been several
weeks now. We reached out again to wolfSSL.
If there is no resolution by 15th of October, then we will
proceed with our OpenVPN 2.7 release plans without wolfSSL
support.
As always you're welcome to join at #openvpn-meeting on Libera IRC network every Wednesday at 14:00 Central European Time.
Kind regards,
Johan Draaisma
