feedback needed: openvpn-recipe-<vendor> #3942

Closed stangri closed 5 years ago

stangri commented 7 years ago

I was suggested to start an issue here to solicit feedback from project leaders.

Due to repeat questions "help me set up a VPN client for specific commercial VPN provider" from users on both OpenWrt and LEDE forums and thanks to the work @cybrnook has done to uci-ize settings for PrivateInternetAccess, I want to make a package which will install required certificates and modify either /etc/config/openvpn or (if luci-app-openvpn is installed) /etc/config/openvpn-recipes to add (in disabled state) openvpn configurations for various PIA servers.

The feedback I'm seeking is:

  1. Would a package like that be accepted?
  2. Which category does it belong to?
  3. What would be a good name? I was thinking openvpn-recipe-privateinternetaccess (in case more openvpn-recipe packages will be added) -- is there a better naming scheme?
  4. What is the policy of having non-maintainer be included in copyright?

Thanks!

Should this discussion be moved to the mail-list?

The package will surely become stale and unmaintained as time passes by. I think a wiki page for these info and caveats will suffice to address the need for now.

@stangri I share yousong's opinion here, I think you can close this issue by now
