Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openvpn
easy-rsa is a set of scripts/files shipped with openvpn releases that
can be used to easily setup a basic PKI for use with openVPN setups. In
Debian/Ubuntu it is shipped "as-is" in /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples
/easy-rsa/2.0/, not really packaged or integrated in any way, so it is
not usable out of the box. Several bugs are filed by people trying to
sort out manual installation of easy-rsa from the doc/examples
directory.
It would be interesting to properly package it as a separate binary
package (that openvpn would recommend), install in FHS-compliant
locations and fix any integration bugs to make it usable out of the box.
I marked as duplicate of this bug several other bugs reported against easy-rsa
scripts:
bug 391884 - insufficient quoting in vars script : is not relevant once
easy-rsa is properly following FHS locations
bug 242219 - Makefile expects a file "README" to be installed, but its
"README.gz" : Makefile is no longer needed once this is properly packaged
bug 231199 - revoke-full fails : would need to be solved as part of this
packaging effort
