[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello Guix,

Having tried to get `vpnc' working with my university's vpn system, and
failing, I looked into other distributions and how they got it to work.
It seems that most people use an updated version of the bundled
`vpnc-script' to make it work.

This patch updates `vpnc' to make use of the latest revision of the public
Subversion repo. It also includes the updated `vpnc-script'. To note,
our old `vpnc' (and its included `vpnc-script') crashed when trying to
conn
ect to any vpn.

Regards,
Jelle

Indeed.

I'd started on packaging those updated vpnc-scripts, but that kind of
fell through all kind of cracks.

I don't think I needed to bundle anything. I'll dig them up and see how
far I got.

Kind regards,

Indeed, that would be nice.

In the meantime, could you apply Jelle’s patch if it looks right to you?
It’s a bit sad that upstream hasn’t made new releases.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Found 'em! If you have some spare time, could you give the attached
patches a try? They look finished[0], but I don't have a VPN to test.

I hope we can avoid relying on the copy of vpnc-scripts bundled with vpnc:

- the bundled copy still lags behind upstream[1], even in trunk
- unbundling allows using a stable release of the vpnc client instead
  of a subversion checkout, while still easily updating the scripts
- and shaves ~50MiB from our openconnect package.

Of course, it has to actually work for you first :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R

Fair enough, this seems like a good reason to apply your patches ;-).

Good news! Your patches work, I verified this with my university vpn.
Why are we using this specific versions of the vpnc-scripts?

What is the problem regarding  `wrap-keys' (wrap-program?) exactly?

Regards,

Jelle

I'd arranged for someone else with access to such a VPN to (also) test
these patches, but never got an answer. I'm afraid I lost track of this
issue in the meantime.

I'll look into it after some much-needed rest.

Kind regards,

It looks like these patches were dropped.  What’s the current status
here?  Can we apply them or are they no longer needed?
