Thus wg-quick doesn't work with Fedora, yet we ship packages for Fedora with wg-quick. So: there's a problem that we need to work out. I take responsibility for it and I don't blame the users. > If you feel this is super important and you want to ship a hacky solution to > fix then do it. > It's a temp solution for a problem that needs a lot more packaging and dev > time to fix correctly for every distro. Alright. So in that case, I guess ship the hatchet as a patch in the RPM, and later when you have time, you can investigate if there's actually a proper Fedora way of doing things. Likewise Martin can do the same with OpenSUSE. (Daniel and Egbert seem mostly okay with the butchered resolvconf in their distros; at least they don't see any reason to change things, since it mostly works, and users there at least have the choice of somehow installing openresolv need be.) > I > manage my own DNS because I don't have a fancy NetworkManager drop down in > GNOME to do it for me... at least not yet. ;) Sounds like a fun project coming up... > With that all said, I don't think the hatchet solution is great. > have this issue fixed because users are super frustrated then do it for > now and we can fix it later with the right way to do things in Fedora. I suppose that's the plan then!
