Description Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-19 07:23:16 UTC
net-misc/kvpnc-0.8 is a candidate for stable, please give it a try.
Comment 1 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-26 09:52:03 UTC
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.

0.8 stable on x86.
Comment 4 e-spark 2005-11-10 11:37:44 UTC
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

Comment 7 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-12 10:58:47 UTC
This isn't stable. There are crash problems when disconnecting and some config 
file corruption issues.
