I have a query about PPP. I've had an extraodinary amount of difficulty
keeping PPP up to-date and installed properly due to the fact that the PPP
package likes to go into kernel source and fiddle with code there. This
grand scheme of managing PPP-related files and keeping them in sync appears
to boil down to a human's ability to remember to update the FILEVER comment
in the header of the source file if they make changes! This makes
trouble-shooting PPP problems a nightmare because every person on the
Internet can potentially have a different PPP system, built on a smattering
of mismatched kernel includes and kernel-version dependant pppd.
I have ppp-2.3.5 built and installed against 2.1.105 (and working with
2.1.88 as well), but I'm wondering if it isn't time to put a stake in the
ground and seperate the package from the kernel once and for all.
Does anyone have ideas about this, or perhaps other comments for or
against?
