[PRQ#51154] Deletion Request for networkmanager-fortisslvpn-git
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for networkmanager-fortisslvpn- git [2]: Defunct VCS package. Upstream only receives automated CI housekeeping commits, but not feature commits, for the last 2+ year. [a] It depends on the unofficial openfortivpn client library for Fortinet's VPN, unsupported by the Fortinet company. It has seen a wide variety of breakages, especially for the past 6+ months. [b] The openfortivpn devs are fighting an uphill battle, and seem to be on the losing side. Fortinet itself is phasing out its independent VPN offering, and instead focuses on its other, integrated cloud and on-premises management, security and teleworking solutions. They still offer their own Linux VPN client for legacy customers [c], which seems to be users' only remaining viable option as of now. Though Fortinet no longer provides any support whatsoever for these users, and instead promotes its upmarket products.
