SUMMARY

cron2, dazo, lev and mattock participated in this meeting.

Discussed OpenVPN 2.5 status.

Noted that we're reaching a point where MSI installer is becoming "the"
blocker for 2.5. Everyone would like to drop NSIS in favor of MSI, if
possible. Mattock sent email to rozmansi asking about MSI status.

On top of that we have "asymmetric compression support" and "async
client-connect" and some isolated patches which lack ACKs or need work.

Selvanair volunteered to backport some of the patches from "master" to
"release/2.5". This was ok for everyone.

--

Decided to remove the ​--disable-server compile-time option from OpenVPN
2.5. We asked about doing that on our mailing lists and only one person
was against it, and the arguments were not particularly compelling.
