Thanks for the clarification.
It sounds like the diald-config-0.16.5-201 rpm has nothing to do with
my diald-config package. This is bound to cause confusion. (Mine is
diald-config-1.2.1, and is not a configuration but an alternate means of
configuring diald that layers over the standard configuration directives. There
are 2 companion sample configurations.) The next time somebody releases a diald
rpm it might be nice if they'd change the name to diald-cfg or something. For
that matter, I agree about the release numbering, the -201 release stuff bites.
I'd go for another dash after the "offical" release number and add a whole
new "unoffical" release number set after that. Comments?
I guess this release adds the new "up-delay" configuration directive to diald
that kludges a delay into the establishment of the network to give the isp a
chance to setup routes after the ppp connection is brought up. Is this
directive included in the distributed config? If so, do I need to worry about
it and add it into diald-config? My take is no, anyone who needs it can add it
by hand in the usual place.
By the by, people persist in using the 0.1 (first alpha!) release of
diald-config. Naturally, they have problems. Get the latest version from the
"noarch" directory!
