The crl updater had an incorrect path, so I changed it locally and then looked in the Git repository and found this commit:
Obviously the change wasn’t rolled out to me. I had a quick look at the Pakfire code and saw that the core updates are downloaded and decrypted and then an install.sh script is executed, but I didn’t get any further due to time constraints.
And because I’m interested in where exactly the error was and how the core updates are created, but I don’t want to go into too much detail myself for now, I wanted to ask if someone could write a short description about how the core updates are created and what there is to know about it.
The failure was that it was missed to add the openvpn-crl-updater script into the ship filelists file.
Only three of the files were added into the filelist of files that gets shipped.
Unfortunately this was not found during the Testing release of CU186. All the developers had a CRL expiry time that was still long enough for the issue not to flag up and there was no Testing feedback from the forum for CU186.
