Hi, A number of issues with 2.5.0 are seemingly cropping up upstream. Most of them are benign but there are definite issues so we're still using 2.4.9 in highly sensitive places whilst sorting the issues in 2.5.0 one by one elsewhere. Patches are going straight upstream. This one issue is of particular annoyance and definitely not benign, seeing this everywhere we're using pptp and/or l2tp: https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/issues/453 This seems to look like an interoperability issue between 2.4.9 (client) and 2.5.0 (server) - for the common definition of client and server where ppp is more about peers than clients and servers. Windows clients are also having problems connecting. Rolling ppp back from 2.5.0 to 2.4.9 resolves the issues. Don't think we need to unstable ppp 2.5.0, but we need to please not purge 2.4.9 since there are definitely still cases where it works when 2.5.0 doesn't. Reproducible: Always
Noted.
Any updates here?
The core bugs necessitating this request has been fixed, but I haven't yet updated the last two systems still using 2.4.9 but I think from a Gentoo perspective it can go now. If needed I'll move it into our private ::uls repo. Thanks for keeping it around as long as you have, appreciate the effort. Kind regards, Jaco
(In reply to Jaco Kroon from comment #3) Do we need to backport any patches for 2.5.0 in the Gentoo ebuild? If you can point me to them I am happy to do that.
https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/pull/463 I've been applying locally on machines as I roll out, but obviously having this "upstream" is preferred.

Hi Mike, Just my expression of gratitude in a generally ungrateful world, appreciate the effort from yourself thank you. I notice this went straight to stable, which also makes my life a lot easier w.r.t. internal patch management on this side thank you. Kind regards, Jaco
