Better have not triaged bugs open than having buggy outdated ppp. Did you ever check out the rebase of the patches we made in ubuntu? I would love if those could be of any help or to get feedback on them. - Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I would love to make a new upload, but all the open bugs scare me. I need help to greatly shrink the list of open bugs. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature

What I can try to do is update the current package to 2.4.5.

Yeah, I know your pain, I got those bug reports myself already :-) My question was more targetted at what your specific plans are wrt squeeze (and beyond), i.e. if a 2.4.5 upload for squeeze is out of the question for you or just a matter of lacking time.

I have an half-finished package of a slightly older snapshot available from http://www.bofh.it/~md/debian/ . Are you interested in helping? I am interested in any kind of help, including but not limited to: - bugs triage - patches against that snapshot - an updated package to be uploaded, just for this time - stable co-maintainers What will not help is reminding me that I should upload a new package, because I am already painfully aware of this. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature

retitle 515590 PPP new upstream release 2.4.5 available thanks Hi Marco, has there been any progress in getting a newer version of ppp into Debian? Apparently there was an official 2.4.5 release [1] on 17-Nov-2009. What are your plans? Are you waiting for squeeze to be released or do you consider a 2.4.5 upload in time for that?

Package: ppp Severity: wishlist User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch Hi, The rebased package for ubuntu is available here: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ppp/2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu1 The pieces are: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ppp/2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu1/+files/ppp_2.4.5~git20081126t100229.orig.tar.gz https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ppp/2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu1/+files/ppp_2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu1.dsc https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ppp/2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu1/+files/ppp_2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu1.diff.gz As all patches were touched/rebased and a bunch was dropped i am not sure if it makes sense to submit them individually. I would appreciate if you could provide me your input on those and maybe take that package for a new debian snapshot. Let me know if you want me to send you something in a different form Thanks! - Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
