OpenVPN Client Service

OpenVPN Client Service

Hello Guix!

Including "openvpn-client-service-type" does not invoke and add
"openvpn" package into the system. Without "openvpn" package, openvpn
client commands cannot be used. Therefore, "openvpn-client-service-
type" is of no use, if it does not invoke and add "openvpn" package
into the system.

Regards,
RG.

This is basically bug #35417, so I'm going to merge (and close) 
both of them.  You'll find that this is true for all services, and 
these are not bugs.  Really! :-)

Strongly disagree.

What's ‘invoke’ supposed to mean here?  The openvpn service *does* 
invoke openvpn.

If you want (your) user to do the same, like all packages, openvpn 
must be added to SYSTEM-PACKAGES or installed into their own 
profile.

Kind regards,
