Bug 204304 – net-dialup/qlcr-0.4.1 not installing the compiled binary, thus not using local wvdial configuration; provider file hosting changed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Peter GAAL 2008-01-04 18:44:30 UTC]

1) The executable to install is src/qlcr and not bin/qlcr. This masks the following problem:
2) The [Dialer Defaults] tag isn't inserted into the wvdial.conf generated. This prevents any local configuration option from being applied by wvdial.
3) The site of the provider list has been closed before Christmas 2007.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge qlcr
2. Start qlcr
3. Enter your modem configuration strings
4. Try to dial
Actual Results:  
The modem cannot dial, eg behind a PBX or when it needs to perform pulse dialing

Expected Results:  
Initialization strings should always be used

The modified ebuild I used to install qlcr also makes this Qt program look better under Gnome: It reduces its font size to 8 pts. (I use Sans, and Qt is made to match it by qtconfig.)
All the bugfixes are documented in the ChangeLog file.
