@bhyoo: the package itself works. It just its meta data that are wrong.
arch=(any) does not mean that you can compile the PKGBUILD on any architecture. It does mean that the compiled package can be used on any architecture as-is. This is usually the case when a package only includes scripts or assets. The openvpn3 package however includes binaries compiled for a specific architecture. So the aarch64 version will not work on amd64.
@Pierre Do you have any problem using it on arm64? I used it on raspberry pi 4 several month ago and had no issue.
The PKGBUILD lists arch as "any" which wrongly results in a package that is architecture independent. You should set it to e.g. arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
Hi @snake.scaly, Thanks for your work. Just patched!
I overlooked one thing. You may also want to add another line to tmpfiles-openvpn3.conf to explicitly create the /var/lib/openvpn3 directory before creating /var/lib/openvpn3/configs. If you use my patch as is, the /var/lib/openvpn3/configs is created with 0755 permissions as expected, but the /var/lib/openvpn3 is 0750 for some reason, so not world-readable. In a Debian installation using the project's official APT source these directories are created with 0755 permissions.
tmpfiles-openvpn3.conf should look like this:
d /var/lib/openvpn3 0755 openvpn openvpn
d /var/lib/openvpn3/configs 0755 openvpn openvpn
Hi @bhyoo, I had to modify this AUR to make it work on my machine. Maybe it was a user error but somehow the /var/lib/openvpn3 directory got created by the root user instead of openvpn so openvpn-service-configmgr and openvpn-service-sessionmgr couldn't start, ultimately crashing with DBusProxyAccessDeniedException.
To fix this I've added a configuration for /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d to create this directory with the correct ownership beforehand. Below is the full patch, hopefully it's not too much for a comment.

@campfireman You should not include base-devel into makedepends. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#makedepends
After upgrading to kernel 5.18.14, I had to rebuild this package. It was throwing an error for me when trying to initiate a session: ERROR Failed preparing proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for net.openvpn.v3.sessions: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127
The solution (for me) was to remove the source directory with rm -rf ~/.cache/paru/clone/openvpn3
Next, paru -S openvpn3 got me back in business. Hope this can help someone else if they run into the same.
Had to install automake and pkg-config to make compilation work. Is the problem on my side or do these need to be added as dependencies?
Thanks @ribugent that fix totally worked!.

Because the origin source code does not support upstream glib2, this package delivers statically compiled glib2 2.74.6 within binary starting from 21-1. Please give any feedback if it does not work.
