Bug 120348 – Make rppppoek-0.33 work without arts and with rp-pppoe-3.6

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Rene Gass 2006-01-25 15:01:13 UTC]

Although this nice little program has been kicked out of portage (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66053), I still like and use it, as well as others (see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-371885.html). So I created two patches: the first removes the configure checks for arts (as mentioned by Robert in bug 66053); the second patch is needed for rp-pppoe-3.6 which changed the names for adsl-start and adsl-stop to pppoe-start and pppoe-stop.

I hope this is of use to someone. I don't know any working alternative to rppppoek, so I believe this thing deserves to be in portage for the time being.

I post this patch as well in case it vanishes from Google's cache someday.

[Comment 6 Heiko Baums 2006-01-25 15:54:27 UTC]

Good idea. Let us hope it get's back into portage.

But there's one problem with the ebuild. The version number should remain 0.33 instead of 0.33-r2 or you should change the line SRC_URI="http://download.berlios.de/segfaultskde/${P}.tar.gz" to SRC_URI="http://download.berlios.de/segfaultskde/rppppoek-0.33.tar.gz"

Because ${P} is replaced by rppppoek-0.33-r2 but there's no rppppoek-0.33-r2.tar.gz but only a rppppoek-0.33.tar.gz on the download server.

[Comment 7 Heiko Baums 2006-01-25 16:04:50 UTC]

OK, forget my comment about the version number. Sorry!!!
I was wrong. The -r2 is ignored by ${P}.

But don't forget the other comment. It is a great idea. And rppppoek should get back into portage.

So, you are the new maintainer of this? Can you make a fixed -0.34 release then, please?
We would rather like to have it added w/o patches.

[Comment 9 Rene Gass 2006-02-04 03:20:57 UTC]

It's in the works.

[Comment 10 Rene Gass 2006-02-16 05:54:56 UTC]

Version 0.34 is out. Ebuild and ChangeLog attached. Should the bug title be changed?

Please fix the SRC_URI.

[Comment 14 Rene Gass 2006-02-18 05:24:20 UTC]

Brr, BerliOS changed their pages. I'll have to look for another place to store the tarball.

[Comment 15 Rene Gass 2006-02-18 17:39:03 UTC]

Fixed SRC_URI for rppppoek-0.34; added version 0.40 which features a nice tray icon animation when traffic is running through the line. It may make sense to add both versions (0.34 and 0.40) to the tree because 0.34 is basically the same as version 0.33 plus Gentoo patches, which has proven to be stable, whilst 0.40 adds new features.

version 0.40 has been added to the tree, with ~amd64 and ~x86 keywords.
I cannot add 0.34 with stable keywords, so I don't see the point of adding both of them.

[Comment 20 Rene Gass 2006-02-19 01:00:42 UTC]

No problem. Thanks for bringing it back into the tree! :-)
