Updating OpenVPN Version 2.2.2 to 2.3

jackcarver

Hi there,
as OpenVPN 2.3 is now stable i would like to know when you update your apt repositories? As you can see here:

http://repos.openvpn.net/repos/

The date of the apt repos is 09-Jul-2012 11:18 and the date of yum repos is 08-Jan-2013 12:45. I can confirm this cause updating OpenVPN on my Debian Server doesn't work with apt-get upgrade, i'm stuck on OpenVPN 2.2.2.
A freshly install of OpenVPN on my CentOS 6 Server works with OpenVPN 2.3.

Hi,

i was looking for the 2.3 debian package and found that this is available in the snapshot repos:

http://repos.openvpn.net/repos/apt/squeeze-snapshots/

I don't know if this is a snapshot package or just in the wrong place.

Is it just that the link for "Stable releases for Debian Squeeze (6.0)," which leads to only 2.2.2, is outdated, or is 2.3.0 not actually deemed stable yet for Debian?

Coincidentally or not, it's there as of today:
http://repos.openvpn.net/repos/apt/squeeze-stable

Hi,

just compared both packages. The only change in the package from squeeze-stable and squeeze-snapshots is the openvpn binary /usr/sbin/openvpn:

squeeze-snapshots: dc3bf00cd39da7ab6a1ee2ddb4f4887b /usr/sbin/openvpn
squeeze-stable: 4899f46ada905883354382e978c28aa7 /usr/sbin/openvpn

so the squeeze-stable has a newer binary.

Yup,
Somewhere last week i noticed my Debian-machines where upgraded to 2.3 version.

Anyways, i also had a topic over here: topic12185 but it's resolved now.
