tinc1.1pre10 for Windows

[Daniel Schall]

Hi,

 

I am a big fan of your project.

Recently, I was trying to upgrade from tinc 1.1pre9 to pre10, and activating
the experimental protocol, but a few things are not working.

 

First of all, required libraries are missing in the windows installer, e.g.
zlib.dll.

Luckily, I still got them lying around from earlier versions (I don't
remember, where I got them exactly.)

I don't recall having these problems with earlier versions, is there a
mistake in the most recent installer?

Or was I just lucky before and always had the libs somewhere on my system?

 

Second, maybe the more interesting/severe problem is:

When trying to run tinc with the option "ExperimentalProtocol = yes", tincd
complains to generate keys with the option "generate-ed25519-keys", but that
option is not available in tinc (the command line client).

The only option I found is "generate-ecdsa-keys", but they do not generate
the correct files.

 

For testing, I ran tincd1.1pre9 with experimental protocol, and this version
complains about missing ECDSA-keys.

I was able to generate them and connect to other nodes, running the same
version.

 

Yet, it seems you changed encryption in pre10 to ED25519 and forgot to
update/expose the correct methods to generate keys.

 

I'd be happy to test pre10 in a mixed Windows/Linux environment, if you
provide precompiled binaries for windows :)

 

 

best regards

 

Daniel Schall
