  Description     : OpenVPN data channel offload (ovpn)

This DKMS module will provide a backport of the OpenVPN 2.7+ data channel
offloading module that has been merged in Linux mainline 6.14+. I intend
to upload this to experimental and later to Forky as soon as it opens
up for development, together with OpenVPN 2.7 releases.

The main use would be to backport both to Trixie and Bookworm to get them
proper in-the-field test coverage.

This package is basically the successor of openvpn-dco-dkms, the old
out-of-tree DCO module only supported with OpenVPN 2.6. They can both
be coinstalled, OpenVPN will use the correct module.

I expect to be able to drop both for the Forky release.

This seems a bit redundant with the kernel that will be in forky.

OK, I can see how it could be useful to provide backports.

But once you do that, you will not be allowed to update the version in
trixie-backports.  So I'm not sure that this plan is going to work.

Hi,

I plan to do this late in the Forky cycle (shortly before the forky
freeze), that should provide plenty of time to fix bugs both in the
upstream 6.14+ and in the backports.

I guess in the beginning there will even be merit to provide an updated
ovpn module for kernels already including it upstream.
