Description:   Opened: 2007-07-07 22:12 0000 
Currently, ppp does not install its header files (pppd.h and others).
These are needed by the pptp plugin of NetworkManager (not yet in portage).

From ppp-2.4.4/pppd/Makefile

HEADERS = ccp.h chap-new.h ecp.h fsm.h ipcp.h \
        ipxcp.h lcp.h magic.h md5.h patchlevel.h pathnames.h pppd.h \
        upap.h eap.h mplscp.h
...
install-devel:
        mkdir -p $(INCDIR)/pppd
        $(INSTALL) -c -m 644 $(HEADERS) $(INCDIR)/pppd

Usually pppd dependent packages have all the necessary pppd header files
included in their source tree and ebuild do nothing more than correcting the
PPPD_VER (see net-dialup/pptpd).
What header files do you need?

------- Comment #2 From Robert Buchholz 2007-07-08 13:35:09 0000 ------- 
The nm-pppt plugin ships with several versions of the ppp header files and
allows to specify the version to use in ./configure. So it would work with the
code from the ptpd ebuild. But it also allows to link to a given ppp include
dir and figures out the version itself.

From a maintenance point of view, I don't understand why packages would want to
do the first thing. This creates a lot of work when a new ppp version should
come out, because I'd need to patch nm-pptp to contain the new headers.

As for your question, it needs fsm.h, ipcp.h, patchlevel.h and pppd.h. But if
you decide to install the headers, why not all of them? Debian's ppp-devel
ships with the whole list:

------- Comment #3 From Alin Năstac 2007-07-09 07:16:48 0000 ------- 
Fixed in 2.4.4-r9 by running make install-devel in src_install().

I will ask arch teams to stabilize it.
