-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Note: I had this mail in my drafts directory for some time now; as I see I don't have time to fix it due to real life changes and issues, I will send it now, before fixing the last bits.
Hello all, The modifications I done on the ppp-udeb package, in order to make it really work in the D-I environment, are functional. I have made a modified iso image[1], so beta testers will only need to download that and use it. It still needs some polishing, but the main issue, the default route which was not set is a weird issue since, although the route command displays the default route 0.0.0.0, the installation went fine via pppoe (it uses finish-install.d). The not-so-important things to do now are: - - use the same scheme for additions to /etc/resolv.conf as the general pppd package uses; (this also means having a separate file for the pppoe peer configuration, and not having that in the postinst) - - make the postinst really reentrant by detecting any previous instances of pppd and killing them before rerunning - - do not return to the main menu until actually a pppX interface is up and has an IP, or until a time out (gah, timeouts) - - see if concentrator detection really works for anybody from the first attempt (I even copied pppoeconf code to try to fix this, but I didn't had luck) I still couldn't figure out why the concentrator is never detected at the first attempt, meaning that in every test I attempted immediately after a boot, the concentrator was not found. I tried to run pppoe-discovery twice with different parameters in the hope that it will work (as seen in pppoeconf). The conclusion is that I think this is material for beta testing (NOT in the sense D-I beta testing, but in the sense that someone else should try it, test it). The code will need a review, I am sure I could have done some things a lot more cleaner, than they are now. I also feel that the code should be integrated in the official package because this iteration is too big already. I will probably make time for the rest of the points (except for the concentrator detection issue, where I am requesting help) P.S.: Just discovered that the finish-install.d thingie does not work :-/ [1] http://eddyp.homelinux.net:8080/eddy/pppoe/current/pppoe-di-i386.iso - -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEq1aKY8Chqv3NRNoRApHOAJ9I2MpFxSX08poxwWT4fmvKTm+BAgCcC/12 E1CsU4gSj2IgMoPOZvX4Y50= =CBsQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
