Aren't this a little extreme? An ebuild for a simple script? 

Is anyone interested in this, besides the reporter of this bug of course?
I would mark this bug as WONTFIX if I could.

it think so too, maybe we can add this functionality to the pptpd package?

I intended to post a patch for pptpclient but this script isn't pretty:
  - lack of proper indentation
  - use of old tools (route) instead of the new ones (ip)
  - go beyond the scope of a PPTP link (the other party is assumed to be the original default gateway)
  - inexplicable sleeps
  - the tarball contains an executable pptp; I cannot understand why do we need to download an additional garbage - the executable is more than 95% of the package.

Resuming, doesn't deserve it's bandwidth.

rejected for the reasons exposed at comment #9

Comment 11 Kfir Ozer 2004-11-07 09:07:43 UTC

hiya
i added the pptp client program because the original package of nvstart
has it but i'll remove it. 
besides that i'll move to iproute2 and fix the ebuild
and upload it again
