OpenVPN 2.6 and the openvpn-dco Copr builds should also work even if
kmod-ovpn-dco is not available.  And we will provide and support the
kmod-ovpn-dco via the openvpn3 Copr repository until we can get it into
the far more common Fedora repositories.

Just FYI, packages for out-of-tree kernel modules are not allowed in
the main Fedora repositories:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/#_no_external_kernel_modules


We are well aware of that.  Currently, the ovpn-dco kernel module is
available via the dsommers/openvpn3 Fedora Copr repository, as indicated
in the initial mail (it is provided as a dkms enabled module).  For
testing purposes.

If the ovpn-dco kernel module is unavailable on a system, this DCO
enabled OpenVPN build will _fallback_ to tun automatically.

Once we have p
erformed more testing and gotten more feedback from users,
we will off course start the job of getting the ovpn-dco module into the
upstream kernel.  That is the main goal.
