Openvpn stable repo does not have version for groovy

Post by jhulio » Sat Feb 27, 2021 6:45 pm

I am trying to follow the instructions here
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... twareRepos

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..

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

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

Code: Select all

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
