yes, but we would pull from their repo. we wouldn't host their deb. the sysvinit scripts would be ours though, in a sep. package.anticapitalista wrote: Tue Apr 23, 2019 7:54 amIs it proprietary though?fehlix wrote: Tue Apr 23, 2019 7:45 amI guess if we get enough positive feedback ( or no negative failure report), we might but the installer for nordvpn together with the sysVinit-fix into MX Package Installer -> Popular Apps ... a.s.a.p. ...ludolph wrote: Tue Apr 23, 2019 3:25 am ... is there any chance to put modified version of nordvpn native app (compatible with sysVinit) to MX Test repo?

Ahh, you installed nordvpn apt-source and upgraded, right? Did you had version 2 installed already and running? and upgrade to version 3. Or did you appliad already the nord-vpn fix.ludolph wrote: Wed Apr 24, 2019 6:35 am This is really very strange! I have no idea what is wrong...

Anyway, as the latest nordvpn installer, will ignore sysVinit, so it will not properly shut down the daemon and will not prepare the system for the upgrade. Suggest we don't put norvpn's apt-source into into apt source list, but upgrade through MX Package installer (when available), wehre we can shutdown the daemon properly and prepare a potential upgrade.
