I'm neither using this application nor touching the ebuild, but 0.8.1 fixes a crash, so maybe it's not a good idea to mark 0.8 stable? The kde herd never was responsible for the package anyways and should therefore be removed from metadata.xml.

Ok, closing for now. 0.8 stable on x86. I think the Syntax for the pppd peer file changed, if you want to use mppe you get some problems! I'm using the mppe kernel patch on kernel 2.6.13-gentoo-r5. I also have a crash with 0.8 everytime i want to disconnect! I did the following: downloaded 0.8.1 fixed the code to match the syntax for the peer file in kvpnc-0.8.(1)/src/kvpnc.cpp (man pppd) emerged crypto++ renamed the source folder kvpnc-0.8.1 to kvpnc-0.8 bzipped it as kvpnc-0.8.tar.bz2 copied it into /usr/portage/distfiles/ then emerged kvpnc-0.8 again ;-) works fine now please put 0.8.1 in portage, at least as testing, and add dep crypto++ I can create a patch for the pppd problem, or can i also submit new ebuilds? and if yes how do i have to create them? is there a howto somewhere? sry for my bad english Created attachment 72612 [details, diff]
