2020-07-20Drop support for OpenSSL 1.0.1Arne Schwabe
OpenSSL 1.0.1 was supported until 2016-12-31. Rhel6/Centos6 still use this version but considering that RHEL7 and RHEL8 are already out, these versions can also stay with OpenVPN 2.4. All the supported Debian based distributions also come with at least 1.0.2. We (accidently) unconditionally compiled some key exporter code on OpenSSL 1.0.2+ without problems. So always compile the whole key exporter feature for OpenSSL. This also allows the tls groups commit to be applied without adding ifdefs to disable that functionality on OpenSSL 1.0.1 Signed-off-by: Arne Schwabe <arne@rfc2549.org> Acked-by: Steffan Karger <steffan.karger@foxcrypto.com> Message-Id: <20200717134739.21168-2-arne@rfc2549.org> URL: https://www.mail-archive.com/openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20441.html Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de>
2020-07-17doc/man: convert openvpn.8 to split-up .rst filesDavid Sommerseth
To avoid keeping around a full-size openvpn.rst file which is never needed but will take space in the repo forever, patches 01...04 of the big documentation overhaul projects were squashed togehter, keeping the individual commit logs and URL references below. Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de> * This is a combination of 4 commits. * This is the 1st commit message: doc/man: Add an .rst formatted version of the man page This is the first step to move away from a manually editing g/nroff encoded man page. Some modifications was needed to ensure formatting was consistent and rendered reasonably okay in GitHub and that the generated man page (using rst2man) is looking as a proper man page. Unsupported options has also been moved into its own section. HTML rendering directly using rst2html has also been used to validate the conversion.

An additional dist-hook is added so these files are generated automatically when source tarballs are generated for releases.

Some options were even documented multiple places. The example has also received some attention, cleaning up old and outdated infomration. In this commit the main man page is split up into multiple sections and options are sorted into each of the corresponding section. Inside each category, each option is for now sorted alphabetically. The main openvpn.8.rst file is currently kept unchanged and will be handled in the next commit. Many language improvements contributed by Richard Bonhomme has also been incorproated.

2019-06-24Remove cmocka submodule, rely on system-wide installation instead.Gert Doering
We used to ship git submodule instructions to build a local copy of cmocka in vendor/cmocka/ and use that (if cmake is installed) to build unit tests. With the network test driver this turns out to be a LD_LIBRARY_PATH vs. SUDO complication which is really outweighing the benefit of a local build today - so, use the system-wide installation if available (querying pgk-config). Do not build unit-tests otherwise. v2: (inspired by patch from David Sommerseth) introduce "configure --disable-unit-test" switch simplify configure.ac logic use CMOCKA_LIBS and CMOCKA_INCLUDE (set by PKG_CHECK) v3: repair conflict with commit 7473f326366fbceb CMOCKA_INCLUDE is not correct, must be CMOCKA_CFLAGS (see config.status) Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de> Acked-by: David Sommerseth <davids@openvpn.net> Message-Id: <20190623183210.6005-1-gert@greenie.muc.de> URL: https://www.mail-archive.com/openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18570.html Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de>

2019-02-28cleanup: Remove RPM openvpn.spec build approachDavid Sommerseth
Linux packaging is quite a comprehensive task these days, with many Linux distributions and each with their own packaging guidelines. In addition OpenVPN is packaged for most important Linux distributions already. The OpenVPN developers is not capable of keeping track of how all the various recommend packaging guidelines evoloves and our RPM build process is no longer consistent with guidelines from Fedora, RHEL or SUSE packaging. We also don't receive any updates improving this situation. Most likely due to packaging being handled fairly well by the Linux distributions directly. In addition comes systemd into play, which more and more Linux distributions embraces - and even our own RPM openvpn.spec file didn't account for that move. This removes all RPM related packaging files and updates the INSTALL file with pointers to several popular Linux distributions with accessible information of the OpenVPN packages they provide. Linux distributions is most likely much better at keeping the packaging up-to-shape much better than we.

2016-01-16configure.ac: simplify crypto library configurationSteffan Karger
This reworks the crypto library configuration, to make it both simpler to understand and more usable: * Only check for OpenSSL when building against OpenSSL (and similar for PolarSSL/mbed TLS). * Bail out early if a problem with the library is detected. * Set CRYPTO_{LIBS,FLAGS} immediately after the crypto library checks, removing the need for an extra switch-case later on. * We no longer support building openvpn with crypto but without ssl, so we can also simplify the logic in configure.ac accordingly. As a 'side effect' (this actually triggered me), this fixes a bug that would cause a user-specified OPENSSL_{CRYPTO,SSL}_LIBS to be overwritten by AC_CHECK_LIB if there are openssl headers available in the PATH.
