Package: ddclient
Version: 3.7.3-4
Attached is a patch that modifies the package installation scripts for
ddclient to simplify the configuration process when selecting DynDNS as
the service.
The configuration generated will work out of the box for the vast
majority of our userbase, without the need to edit the configuration
file afterwards.
This patch allows users to use checkip.dyndns.com to retrieve their IP
address, which is recommended if the machine is behind NAT, and
automatically retrieves their host list from our site to select which
hosts to update if they choose to do so. It also runs ddclient as a
daemon if checkip is used.
This patch implements these features as options to the user, and will
fall back to the old-style configuration options if they do not select
them. It does not affect the configuration if a non-DynDNS service is
chosen. It uses wget to fetch the host list only if it is available so
that no dependency needs to be added. For the desktop-type users this
patch targets, wget will likely already be installed.
We would like to see this patch included in Debian, and eventually
Debian-based distributions to improve ease of installation for our Linux
customers.
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or any requests for
changes in order to accept this patch, feel free to contact me.
Take care,

* Apply patch from Dan McCombs to ease usage of DynDNS services
(closes: #513626).
+ This also partially fixes #285007 as it uses a web interface
to determine the own IP address (but only when configuring for
DynDNS.com services). This must be fixed for others as well.
