From 57ec6cec85b92e6af35a7871d105d84a753d6549 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Sommerseth Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 14:19:06 +0100 Subject: cleanup: Remove RPM openvpn.spec build approach 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.
