FYE: PPP over X on potato (was: package pppoed?)

[Stephan A Suerken <absurd@olurdix.de>]

Hi,

recently, I posted an informal "Pre-ITP" about pppoed to -devel. I
have decided NOT to package it for debian proper.

Rather, to use PPP over X, people can:


1. For potato + linux 2.2.18|9 (and maybe later 2.2 kernels as they appear):

Interested users can try the already existing backports and new support packages
available from oLurdiX Datenbehandlung:

deb[-src] ftp://olurdix.dnsalias.com/pub/debian-olurdix-updates/ potato group-pppox

There also is a relevant HOWTO on the server.

Note that the server is not necessarily available fulltime.


2. For woody + linux 2.4.x:

pppox|e support is in already the kernel (experimental, under PPP), and the debian
package "ppp" newly is patched to supports kernel pppoe directly.


Thank you,

Stephan
