Moreover, most how-tos I read configure tinc in /etc/tinc rather than in /etc/config.</div><div><br></div><div>You could maybe provide distinct packages, tinc and tinc-1.1, and let users decide which of them they install. This would also allow to rethink/rewrite the package, and not worry too much about migration from 1.0 to 1.1. What do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your attention, and regards,</div><div><br></div><div>@</div><div><br>Le 29 mai 2016 à 09:04, Saverio Proto <<a href="mailto:zioproto@gmail.com">zioproto@gmail.com</a>> a écrit :<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>Hello,</span><br><span></span><br><span>I received this pull request.</span><br><span></span><br><span><a href="https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/2757/files">https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/2757/files</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>As I wrote in the comments I am not sure that is the way to go.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Packaging a software for a distribution is not just about software</span><br><span>development.
