Updating the ubuntu/debian apt install process

Open bctrainers opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Greetings, per maintainer request, I am opening up an issue prior to pushing a pull request. With my fork, I have updated the Debian/ubuntu initial installation process with the following changes:

  • Migrate from apt-key to the gpg process - deprecation warnings.
  • Utilize the official OpenVPN repo for the OpenVPN package for all Debian and ubuntu latest releases, and not hard coded to xenial.
  • Use lsb_release -cs to set the apt repo version to use.
  • Use keyring system for openvpn.list openvpn package.
  • Utilize package pinning for OpenVPN.
  • Realign apt package installation process.
  • Added a gpg sanity check on the imported gpg key. Run manually or uncomment to run on installation. (Needs a better method)
