gvpe definitely isn't a fork of tinc, it merely uses tinc's platform-specific tun/tap interface code (about 200 lines for linux/kfreebsd). the crypto code is completely different and in C++. and unfortunately the embedded copy of libev is compiled with EV_MULTIPLICITY set to 0 (libev in debian is compiled with the default setting of 1), which changes the API/ABI. (it controls whether an additional parameter is required by function calls or passed to callbacks.) -- Robert Edmonds [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
