The only aspect we chose over stability is security, but so far only #552 and #688 are caused by that and I’m working on fixing them.
I’m extremely sorry about this issue, we should’ve fixed the
systemdservices much sooner.Right now the only thing that’s breaking the PPA builds is
cpu_features, as submodules are not supported on Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/git-build-recipe/+bug/1733603).They’re working on it, according to the bug status. Meanwhile, as a temporary fix, you could fork this repository and replace the submodule with the files from its repository (https://github.com/google/cpu_features).
привет, из ppa можно поставить пакет с указанием версии, попробуйте поставить явно 4.23.9647 ?
с 5-й версией получилась не очень приятная история, которая к сожалению, еще не закончилась. события развивались примерно так
пока в таком состоянии. очень нужны руки, которые это могут поддерживать
You’re welcome!
I agree that we should have more tests, especially for the packaging (DEB/RPM for now).
At this very moment absence of debian directory breaks things, if I got it correctly I could just attach it from another repo (as well as submodule, maybe), and it will work. I’ll check it this week. Thanks for the work you’re doing! I think we should introduce more tests to make sure build-related things are stay in some known positions and won’t run away from us once more:)
No news? Switching to Cpack has made the repo completely unusable and blocked the use of softether to many people…
@davidebeatrici I just tried that and it doesn’t work. It says the path to it does not exist.
SoftEther VPN Server is now installed in
/usr/libexec/softether/vpnserver.You can edit the path inside
/usr/bin/vpnserver.Подскажите что делать то? теперь из PPA не ставятся пакеты ни на 14 ни на 18 версию Ubuntu. Можно вернуть старые версии deb пакетов? что бы пользоваться ими? из всего вышеперечисленного я ничего не понял, да же наоборот, только последнее сообщение говорит о реальной проблеме, остальные что тут делают мне не понятно.
