Re: Help!!! Woody with PPP 2.4.2 and SASL2 ???



Check http://www.backports.org/ and http://www.apt-get.org/ for woody packages with MPPE and SASL2 support.

If you wish to teach yourself how to backport packages, then start with the PPP package. It is trivial to make the source package work with the woody debhelpers. Alternatively, it is also fairly easy to backport the debhelpers from sarge.

Remember that you'll also need to build a kernel with MPPE support. The pptpclient page on SourceForge has a HOWTO describing how to properly patch the kernel sources.

Hello,
i need some help/ hints with backporting some packages
from sid to woody.
Primary i want ppp 2.4.2 to test pptp with mppe and sasl2
to test smtp auth. If it works as expected i want to upgrade
some debian woody server with these packages/ features.
I tried to download the source from unstable but i´m stuck
with debuild and debhelper/ debconf. PPP 2.4.2 needs
debhelper/ debconf from sid. The same problem with sasl2.

Hope someone can help me with these and give me some general
tips/ hints how to do.

Thanks in advance.
