Include wireguard userspace tools #1870

Open amartinz opened 3 years ago

amartinz commented 3 years ago

We are currently lacking the userspace tools to support wireguard.

Devices with wireguard enabled kernels can utilize it to set up wireguard VPNs via commandline / ssh and enables development work for wireguard GUI integration.

awesome! but don't let developement work for wireguard GUI integration be help up by the currently missing package.

for developement purposes it is perfectly fine to remount the rootfs as readwrite with sudo mount -o remount,rw / and install the packages you need. indeed that is exactly what ubports-qa does to test new features

if something goes wrong you can always run sudo system-image-cli -b 0 --progress=dots to revert all changes made to the rootfs all without losing a single byte of userdata (including apps)
