Hum. Seems to me that mixes up way too many things, and it would be useful to separate some of those in individual packages. I have filed an ITP for ppp before seeing your response: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574789 I have also started working on an individual debian package, again before learning about this repository. Seems to me we should separate those things in multiple packages. Does that make sense to you guys? Thanks for the feedback, A. -- Antoine Beaupré Réseau Koumbit Networks +1.514.387.6262
