[cross-posted to the WireGuard mailing list] Hello OpenBSD Ports List,
I sent a very similar email [0] to the FreeBSD ports list yesterday. I'm the author of WireGuard [1], a secure network tunnel protocol [2] and a set of implementations of it. It was originally designed for the Linux kernel, but we're now beginning to have implementations for other platforms. Recently, parts of the Internet got excited [3] when we put a Darwin version in Homebrew. We've been working on getting an implementation running for OpenBSD, and things are coming along pretty smoothly. The ultimate goal in OpenBSD land is, of course, having this properly in the kernel like it is on Linux, but that's a long ways off, so I thought we should get rolling with this, since it's here now. I'm not entirely familiar with the ports/pkg adding process, and so I was hoping to find somebody who is part of the OpenBSD community to adopt WireGuard and help maintain packages for it. We currently have packages for many Linux distros [4], but not yet BSD ports. There are two packages to add: 1. wireguard-tools, providing wg(8) and wg-quick(8) Runtime dependencies: bash, wireguard-go, libc Buildtime dependencies: gmake, c compiler, libc Fixup: sed -i 's/ -v / /g' src/tools/Makefile Build: gmake -C src/tools WITH_WGQUICK=yes Install: gmake -C src/tools PREFIX=/usr/local install URL template: https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/snapshot/WireGuard-VERSION.tar.xz 2. wireguard-go Runtime dependencies: none Buildtime dependencies: gmake, go Fixup: sed -i 's/ -v / /g' Makefile Build: export GOPATH=$(pwd)/gopath; go get -d; gmake Install: gmake PREFIX=/usr/local install URL template: https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-go/snapshot/wireguard-go-VERSION.tar.xz For reference, these two packages in Homebrew look like this: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/wireguard-tools.rb https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/wireguard-go.rb And for your horror, I've made a please-dont-pipe-like-that copy-and-paste install script: # curl https://xn--4db.cc/IKuBc62Z | sh That script won't work as-is at the moment, since I haven't yet tagged tarballs with OpenBSD support, but in the coming days, I'll tag one that has this latest OpenBSD code in it. (In the meantime, you can run `# curl https://xn--4db.cc/IKuBc62Z | sh /dev/stdin --master` to get it from git master. See demo.wireguard.com for another script for a little test server.) I was hoping that in the time between now and then, we might find somebody willing and interested in packaging this properly. Does this sound fun to anyone?
