I had cautiously proposed to package diald about two weeks ago, but I was cautious because it would use some user interaction if you want to do a perfect job. And I feel that my bash/perl script capabilities don't quite match that aim for a perfect job. Note that Peter Tobias does perfect jobs in putting his stuff together, but that ppp/dip still need manual intervention (setting up chat script, dip scripts etc.). Also do I only have dynamic slip here which isn't really diald's preferred mode.
I would, however, we very glad to help out on the 'howto' of package maintenance as I'd also like to see diald as a Debian package. A lot of doc is in /debian/project/standards. There is for example the `hello' package. Grab the hello-1.3.4.deb and hello-1.3.4.tar.gz. Unpack the .tar.gz and look at the control files. Read the doc from /debian/project/standards. And subscribe to debian-devel (signing on here needs approval of Ian Murdock or Bruce Perens; they are both _very_ busy for the Sep 25 release so it might take a moment). Hope this help, -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
