OpenVPN cipher negotiation patch set

Hi Michael,

I am afraid I don't have a patch set. It is just a single diff change.

I took Erik's original patch set and applied it to the latest ovpnmain.cgi version at that time and then removed some of the items that I decided could wait till later or were not needed.

This created a single diff file, which I was able to apply and test out to confirm it did what I expected it to do, which it seemed to do.

The next step I then had intended to do was to break that single diff into multiple patches but I found this very difficult to do as I could not easily figure out which bits needed to go together in different patches. Trying to understand all the changes and what each were related to I struggled to make sense of.

My next step was therefore going to be to go back to an unmodified ovpnmain.cgi file and make the changes a step at a time, to match what I had previously done and therefore end up with a patch set of small self consistent changes.

However to do this I had to go back to the start and figure out which of Erik's changes to apply and what parts of those changes and every time I did something else in IPFire for a week or so I was having to go back to square one in trying to remember what I had been going to do next.

The diff patch file I created is at

https://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/bonnietwin/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=4fbf17f4a10fbf2a0ddeae1aa436cf26f6b3a035

Hopefully you can use this as a basis to extract just the bits needed for the cipher negotiation.

I will also go back and start again to work on it but focus on it without diverting to anything else, after I have dealt with the wsdd patch modification.

Regards,

Adolf.
