ppp-udeb testers needed (custom image perpared)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello,
I have been working recently on an update to the ppp-udeb package (responsible
for configuring PPPoE networking in D-I and the target system).
I think I have finished fixing the last bad bits from the ppp-udeb package[*],
but currently I am unable to do a test on complete installation due to bug
#407702[1], but I am confident it should just work.
So I am asking if there are people interested in testing the image I have
prepared with the new ppp-udeb package. The image can be downloaded from:
http://users.alioth.debian.org/~eddyp-guest/ppp-2.4.4rel-5/mini-with-ppp-udeb-20070124.iso
(Security concerned people can check the signature[3] and md5sums[4] and go
on, if they trust me :-) )
How to test:
In order to test, just boot the image[2] (no boot parameters are needed) and
try to do a basic installation via PPPoE.
What should be (/would be nice to be :-) ) checked:
- - in D-I environment
* bad/good login should be detected (good logins are silent)
* transitory problems when trying to do the inital connection (cable
unplugged or PPPoE server down) should be detected
- - in the installed system:
* target system boots fine with the PPPoE connection set up correctly
* hosts file and hostname are set correctly
* permissions are set correctly on the network configuration files and the
ppp configuration files (an output of "ls -lR /etc/ppp" in the target would be
appreciated)
* lo interface is configured correctly
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
