tags 196877 patch severity 196877 minor thanks Hi, new maintainers of ifupdown:)
While I am trying to update Debian reference network section, I realized recent ifupdown updates lost fixes done in the experimental package after Thomas Hood left his activity. (I miss him) I did not tag this patch as "patch" since he added patch to his experimental package. As you can see on http://bugs.debian.org/196877 My fix proposal is essentialy 2 line code changes and 2 line documentation changes. I think it is very clean. Let me repeat here the key parts below. This enables ifupdown to access complete functionality of pon which accepts more than just "provider" as its arguments. Since it is too late for etch, please consider this after etch. By the way, the last part of TODO file may deserve to be purged since we are about to release etch and sarge has been released for long time. diff -Nru ifupdown-0.6.4/ifupdown.nw ifupdown-0.6.4-test/ifupdown.nw --- ifupdown-0.6.4/ifupdown.nw 2003-10-19 14:56:29.000000000 +0200 +++ ifupdown-0.6.4-test/ifupdown.nw 2003-10-19 15:51:49.000000000 +0200 @@ -3746,8 +3746,9 @@ commands for details. options provider name -- Use /name/ as the provider (from /etc/ppp/peers). + options string -- Use /string/ as extra options for invoking pon. up - pon [[%provider%]] + pon [[%provider%]] [[%options%]] down poff [[%provider%]] @ diff -Nru ifupdown-0.6.4/inet.defn ifupdown-0.6.4-test/inet.defn --- ifupdown-0.6.4/inet.defn 2003-10-19 14:56:29.000000000 +0200 +++ ifupdown-0.6.4-test/inet.defn 2003-10-19 15:52:34.000000000 +0200 @@ -114,8 +114,9 @@ commands for details. options provider name -- Use /name/ as the provider (from /etc/ppp/peers). + options string -- Use /string/ as extra options for invoking pon. up - pon [[%provider%]] + pon [[%provider%]] [[%options%]] down poff [[%provider%]] method wvdial -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yokohama Japan, GPG-key: A8061F32 .''`.
