OpenVPN Client Export - Windows Installer
« on: December 01, 2017, 06:26:12 am »
Hey Guys,

Is there a reason the OpenVPN Client Export is missing the Windows Installer ? I see in 16.7.2 the oudated binaries were removed but the current version was never re-added

Hi Ren,

The binaries were checked into the core repository, but we found that too taxing on the coding/build side. Then these were quickly outdated and at some point we had to ask the question: who is going to maintain them? No maintainer was found, so we removed them instead of going though the process of writing a "download and integrate" script for the latest binaries that could have been the way to keep the binaries alive and up to date.


Cheers,
Franco
