Adolf, i have another request for you :-) ,
if the 2.5.0 binary has been build, can you please check first (no nnew
cgi or lang files) before all if it works with your actual clients and
report it here -->
https://lists.ipfire.org/pipermail/development/2020-November/008783.html
this might be great.

Thanks and best,

Erik

you would need to make a clean build if the ROOTFILE is not produced.
In the patchwork link you can find the changes in the ROOTFILE which
you can adapt to the already existing under ipfire-
2.x/config/rootfiles/common/.
You would need the sources from OpenVPN community download page, move
openvpn-2.5.0.tar.xz to the cache folder, check the md5sum and change
the OpenVPN LFS file with this data.
You won´t need ./configure since all that is already in the LFS build
stage. Here https://patchwork.ipfire.org/patch/3679/
scroll to the bottom and you can find the path and diffs.

If this is done, just delete the OpenVPN log under ipfire-2.x/log and
make a ./make.sh build. After that you can find the new binary under
ipfire-2.x/build/usr/sbin .

Best,

Erik
