[Bug 265058] Re: [SRU] openvpn2.1~rc7 fails to pick up the CN of certificates

[frymaster]

Hi Thierry:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=dac97fdc77ef4700eab65450a4fc2451%40127001.org&forum_name
=openvpn-users

That's the mail thread where the problem was discussed; sorry our
pastebin stuff disappeared but it turns out the pastebin variety we use
had a bug where it would treat permanent entries as one-month entries,
so all our configs disappeared.

I can't post easy repro instructions because getting an x509
infrastructure working isn't easy :)  I don't and didn't have time to
set up a fresh VM and try to reproduce from scratch because i've never
used one of those certificate wizards.

Surely if you are going to package a version of a program that is
unstable source-wise, the package should be updated regularly to reflect
this?

On a side note, I feel the barrier to reporting a bug is very high; I
very greatly resent having to create an account just to report a bug (a
bug which doesn't affect me since I had to switch to a manually
maintained version anyway; reporting was just a courtesy to the
community);  the implication that I should then waste valuable time
compiling repro details for a bug which the developers of the software
have confirmed (and have confirmed a fix for) seems wrong to me.
