New MullvadVPN client
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Name: MullvadVPN
Project Homepage: https://mullvad.net
Why? Mullvad is my preferred commercial VPN provider. I also privately run a Streisand server via a Linode VPS (in that sense I am my own VPN provider) and having a commercial option at hand is very important for me for two primary reasons: additional privacy as compared to a VPS registered on my name and additional security for my WiFi networks when on the road (my VPS is based on one location only and as such not suitable as a on-the-road VPN solution). An independent review about Mullvad can be found here: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/2017/10/03/mullvad-review/
Open source: Yes
Tarball: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/archive/2018.2.tar.gz
Note: This is a package request for the new MullvadVPN client, not the old deprecated one and as such requires a new package request as I was informed by @DataDrake via T1713.

DataDrake moved this task from Backlog to Accepted For Inclusion on the Package Requests board.

As this task has been marked Needs Maintainer for a month with nobody having stepped up to become maintainer, in addition to providing an acceptable patch for inclusion, marking as WONTFIX. Feel free to re-open when a patch has been submitted via the proper processes.

Is this still DOA? I would really like to have the app available

Plus, I kinda wonder if qomui should be removed. The github page hasn't seen any new commits in a very long time

@macroonsail: This is still technically accepted for inclusion. Someone just has to step up to volunteer as a maintainer and provide a patch.

@JoshStrobl Can this get reopened? I've submitted a patch for this in D10878. Thanks!

Bump. Can someone review D10878 and weigh in if this can be accepted for inclusion? I'm wanting to step up as a maintainer for this. I've been using for a few weeks now without issue.

@JoshStrobl I saw you closed T9736, can you please open this task back up then?

@tarkah We don't usually reopen Package Requests once they have been closed. Even if it's closed, when your patch is valdiated and landed, it will get marked as resolved.

Thanks for the clarification! Sounds good.
