New comment by dkosovic on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/22610#issuecomment-656342972 Comment: @benn13, package template files serve a similar purpose to AUR PKGBUILDs in at least how to describe build dependencies, configure arguments, where the files are installed, etc. I included instructions in the message that has the template file on how to build and install the NetworkManager-l2tp 1.8.2 binary package. If no one takes up the offer of maintaining the template file, I might make a PR and maybe orphan it it a few months time. When I was testing there was an issue with NetworkManager and dhcpcd : ``` dhcpcd[739]: ppp0: waiting for carrier ``` it also happens with NetworkManager-pptp and probably other pppd based VPNs. I tried configuring NetworkManager to use its internal dhcp client, but didn't have luck. Although the the L2TP and IPsec connections were successful, the DHCP failure causes a VPN connection failure. The issue may be specific to the version of NetworkManager I was using, not sure.
