New release: dip_3.3.7p-1 (source i386) uploaded to master
Hi!
This is the new upstream release of dip. Don't be scared by the huge
list of changes; the upstream maintainer added most of the enhancements
that the previous debian maintainer (Peter Tobias) sent him, and I
added the rest.
This program now uses the liblockdev library to lock device in a more
consistent way, while keeping compatibility with programs still using
FSSTND method.
I also added ALPHA support from Suse, so maybe the alpha team would be
happy to test it.
I've tested a libc5 linked version for more than a month, but this is
libc6 ... I've used it on my new hamm machine, but I experienced
problems with bootp, for example, although it could be a problem related
to dns lookup (as seen in bug system).
As usual, it's also available at:
ftp://ftp.icenet.fi/private/fpolacco/debian/libc6/
Cheers,
Fabrizio

Description:
dip - Tool for handling SLIP/PPP dialup IP connections
Changes:
dip (3.3.7p-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Linked with glibc6 and liblockdev0g
* Added string variables support to dial command (undocumented)
* Added use of locking library libdevlock.
* Added patch for alpha contributed by Suse gmbh.
* Added debian version information to startup message.
* Changed version name and date in manpage.
* Changed the way that tty_getmode() return its value; now dip removes
its lock file. Thanx to Peter Tobias for the hint.
* addedd more sample files and more README to the package.
* Should work with and without shadow password.
* Compared manually all patches applyed to version 3.3.7o with the
new version 3.3.7p, and applyed differencies.
* Added patches already in previous debian version: support for
adaptive mode, assembler code for mc68000, for FSSTND compliant
(var/run), ... some old bug, and some new :-)
Here is a list of the Debian changes in previous version 3.3.7o:
- transparent SHADOW support (the same binary will work with and
without shadow support)
- removed -m486 (it is not necessary and it doesn't work on non
intel platforms)
- additional configuration option FSSTND (place of pid file)
- removed -Wl,-qmagic (not supported anymore)
- added a BASEDIR variable. If unset nothing changes but you
can install now to a separate hierarchy. You could set it
to /tmp and say "make install" and create a tar archive with
the binaries (great for distributions)
- in attach.c changed "#ifndef old_ifr_hwaddr" to
"#ifdef old_ifr_hwaddr" (the kernel doesn't define it anymore)
- changed dip to use ipfwadm instead of ipfw (ipfw isn't currently
supported by linux)
- fixed reading from /proc
- ignore comments after labels in the dip script
- added assembler ip checksum routines for m68k
- added support for SLIP6 (some users wanted it)
- added an "adaptive SLIP mode" (AUTO). Great for diplogin. You
don't need to specify SLIP or CSLIP in /etc/diphosts anymore.
Just say "AUTO" and the same entry will work for both SLIP
and CSLIP. You now only need one entry for both SLIP and CSLIP.
- added a section about escape characters to the manual page
(they weren't documented)
- always enable IP-accounting (maybe supress output when the
counters are 0??)
- make sure that the modem init string is terminated by a \0
- added a prehangup function that will make sure that the modem
will hangup.
* upstream package wasn't clean; cleaned debian .orig sources
here are md5sum from upstream and my cleaned:
2fc3c9723a4a8ab506d5fde85d6e2f63 188381 dip-3.3.7p.tar.gz
2a514e5a3cd737944d443633dcdd3c46 113604 dip_3.3.7p.orig.tar.gz
* New upstream sources, with most of the debian patches applied
directly upstream.
