The ACCEL-PPTP is PPTP client/server based on POPTOP (http://www.poptop.org) and PPTPCLIENT (http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net). ACCEL-PPTP uses kernel module to increase performance and decrease system usage.

Please, don't attach tarballs. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=3#doc_chap2 Attach a plaintext ebuild and reopen then; thanks.
Created attachment 101410 [details] ebuild Ok, this is text/plain ebuild file. But it's related files are in previous attachment.
Reopen.

I must say I was skeptical about the usefulness of such package, but the pptp plugin is interesting. Also, I see you modified pptpd-1.3.3 code. However, there are some problems with this package: - no documentation whatsoever - no changelogs - no public source repository - the package name sucks First three things *must* be fixed before this will go into the portage tree. Can you test a client setup using pppd.sh baselayout module? What would be the proper link_ppp0 when pptp plugin is used? I suppose it is the PPTP server address, but only if other pptp plugin parameters are optional.
Yes, I modified pptpd-1.3.3 that it could work with pptp kernel module. Hmm, do you thing it is good idea to clone here documentation from PoPToP and pptpclient packages ? My README containes references to that. Changelog and public source repository will be created. Package name is excellent, because it is ACCELerated-PPTP. here is sample config: config_ppp0=("ppp") link_ppp0="pptp_server 192.168.0.1" username_ppp0="xxx" password_ppp0="xxx" plugins_ppp0=("pptp") pppd_ppp0=( "noauth" "updetach" "nodeflate" "lcp-echo-interval 30" "lcp-echo-failure 3" "require-mppe-128" "mtu 1436" "mru 1436" "defaultroute" ) here is patch to pppd.sh --- pppd.sh.orig 2007-04-13 12:59:51.000000000 +0400 +++ pppd.sh 2007-04-13 13:04:53.000000000 +0400 @@ -193,6 +193,19 @@ fi fi fi + + if [[ " ${opts} " == *" plugin pptp.so "* ]] ; then + if [[ ! -e /proc/pptp ]] ; then <---- will be changed to /proc/net/pptp since version 0.7.8 + # Load the PPTP kernel module + if ! modprobe pptp ; then + eerror "kernel does not support PPTP" + return 1 + fi + fi + opts="${opts} ${!link}" + insert_link_in_opts=0 + fi + [[ ${insert_link_in_opts} -eq 0 ]] || opts="${!link} ${opts}" ebegin "Running pppd"

My README containes references to that. At least pptp plugin is new and its options aren't documented anywhere. You will tell me that other pppd plugins like rp-pppoe.so also don't have documentation, but in this cases I don't have an alternative. :( Also, you forked PoPToP project and added new functionality without documenting it, man page or otherwise (e.g. --ptimeout). I think it would be best first to duplicate documentation from ancestor projects then modify it according to your contributions.
ОК, I will try to do it in future (0.7.8) release.

Why is a source repo (like CVS or SVN) re requirement? Sources get released, patching security holes is possible. That said, I think that a "proper" open source project should have a source repository. (And certainly, "accel-pptp" is not the worst package name I've ever seen.) 0.8.5 has been released, it seems.
Any news on that?
It is in my overlay where I do maintain it: svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/dev/pva Since support of kernel part is in the main tree I guess something needs adjustment there. Please, suggest :)
Hi ! xeb, please ansver - accell-ppp and accell-pptd is the same project ? In nag.ru you support 1.7. version ppp, but pptp is outdated ? А то ребята то и не знают, чего делать ;( pva , you opnion ^^ ?
accel-pptp is pptp client/server based on pptpclient and poptop and works through pppd. accel-ppp is completely other project written from scratch. Please read here http://accel-ppp.sourceforge.net/ and here http://accel-pptp.sourceforge.net/ pva is not mine
> pva is not mine This is most likely the package maintainer.
