Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
at the moment, /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/rp-pppoe.so is installed by |
| 4 |
net-dialup/ppp - nothing special - well, it's not a very recent version. |
| 5 |
In the syslog it says: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.2 |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
On the other hand, i've got net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.8 installed and it |
| 10 |
installs a symlink: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
/etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so -> /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/rp-pppoe.so |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Is this symlink needed? And why is it installed by rp-pppoe? |
| 15 |
(And is the /etc/ppp/plugins dir needed at all? What do plugins do in |
| 16 |
/etc/ppp/plugins? Don't they belong to /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/ ?) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Well, yet another question: |
| 20 |
ppp-2.4.2 now includes the rp-pppoe.so plugins from rp-pppoe - do the |
| 21 |
ppp-people maintain that module by themselfs now? Or do they just |
| 22 |
download the plugin from the rp-pppoe-people and include it in their |
| 23 |
sources? I can imagine a ppp-ebuild that downloads a more recent version |
| 24 |
of rp-pppoe and builds the rp-pppoe.so-plugins directly from the |
| 25 |
rp-pppoe sources instead of using the ppp-sources. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So what's going on there? I'd be happy about some comment from the |
| 29 |
maintainers. |
