I am a Fedora package maintainer, but not one of OpenVPN. I CC'ed them in case they did not notice this. The Fedora package scripts are currently available here: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/openvpn/devel/ In the not so far future this URL will not be valid, because Fedora switches to git. Packages for Fedora are usually build within a chroot using a helper tool called mock[0] and I do not know how well it works on other distributions except Fedora or RHEL/CentOS. There are also scripts developed to easily build new rpms from SCM and afaik currently only git is supported (I do not know what OpenVPN currently uses, but I suspect it's SVN): https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-packager/ticket/8 Adding support for SVN or other SCMs should not be that hard. I will try to write something up how to put all this together to easily build new OpenVPN Packages for Fedora using a SCM checkout. Regards Till [0] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock
