Openvpn stable repo does not have version for groovy

jhulio

I am trying to follow the instructions here
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos

to add the openvpn repository for stable version for my Ubuntu 20.10 (groovy).

However, as can be seen here:
http://build.openvpn.net/debian/openvpn/stable/dists/
the repository does not have versions for groovy (there is focal which is 20.04)

Focal should be fine. Or you can build the source yourself..

jhulio

Yeah I used the version for focal and it works

jhulio

Should the repo have a symlink "groovy" pointing to focal?

In this way we could tell users to just use "lsb_release --codename --short" when adding the repo

TinCanTech

Maybe .. but it is supported by volunteers who also have lives to lead.. so users have to do some thinking for themselves ..

It is a one line command

ln -s focal groovy

I have tried to modify the wiki to say that groovy users should use the focal repo but my IP is blocked ... it was not blocked before

Sorry, that happens from time to time..
