Hello,

I received this pull request.

https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/2757/files

As I wrote in the comments I am not sure that is the way to go.

Packaging a  software for a distribution is not just about software
development. There are operational issues to be addressed.
A lot of people use the tinc package and they expect they configs to
survive a package update. Also they expect the VPN to continue working
even if they dont upgrade all the nodes at once.

AFAIK there is no official migration guidalines available on the tinc
website for people running VPNs on 1.0.x to migrate to 1.1

Moreover the stable version is still 1.0.28 on the official tinc web site.

I dont want to impose my thinking and keep Tinc in OpenWRT at 1.0.x,
so I am here to collect user feedback to take a better decision.

thank you

Saverio
