Hi, at the moment, /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/rp-pppoe.so is installed by net-dialup/ppp - nothing special - well, it's not a very recent version. In the syslog it says:
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.2 On the other hand, i've got net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.8 installed and it installs a symlink: /etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so -> /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/rp-pppoe.so Is this symlink needed? And why is it installed by rp-pppoe? (And is the /etc/ppp/plugins dir needed at all? What do plugins do in /etc/ppp/plugins? Don't they belong to /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2/ ?) Well, yet another question: ppp-2.4.2 now includes the rp-pppoe.so plugins from rp-pppoe - do the ppp-people maintain that module by themselfs now? Or do they just download the plugin from the rp-pppoe-people and include it in their sources? I can imagine a ppp-ebuild that downloads a more recent version of rp-pppoe and builds the rp-pppoe.so-plugins directly from the rp-pppoe sources instead of using the ppp-sources. So what's going on there? I'd be happy about some comment from the maintainers. Greetings Sven -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
