tinc - Jan 2016 - Having more info, like the ip address of the vpn nodes in the xdot graph file of tinc

Hello Guus,

is there a .deb somewhere for tinc 1.1 and ubuntu 15.10 available /
instruction on howto build .deb files for ubuntu ? Then I could put
something together with python or the shell, inotify of the tinc graph
file and tinc info.

Thanks+
BR
Max.

the Debian package maintainer already prepared a 1.1 package in the
experimental suite:
 https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tinc
You can download it there for your architecture.
The package will probably work on your ubuntu system as well - but you need to
test this on your own.

I can confirm the Debian packages works under Ubuntu 14.04 - although it does
crash every now and then (I'm assuming it's not caused by Ubuntu). I
replaced the included init script with an Upstart job to watch Tinc though.
