Re: porting userland ppp to kfreebsd

From my experience with OpenBSD I suggest to use kernel ppp to connect to a fast DSL line. On a slow box the userland ppp is a severe bottleneck. I have no idea whether this works on kfreebsd.

Re: porting userland ppp to kfreebsd
Oh I see... Hum. Seems to me that mixes up way too many things, and it would be useful to separate some of those in individual packages. ... Seems to me we should separate those things in multiple packages. Does that make sense to you guys? There is already pppctl in binary package freebsd-net-tools (from source package freebsd-utils). From my (non-DD) POV, the best current solution is to create new binary package freebsd-ppp in source package freebsd-utils, provide usr.sbin/ppp and also move pppctl to it. The split into separate source packages can be performed any time later. Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: porting userland ppp to kfreebsd
As far as I know, there's currently no possibility of doing PPP or PPPoE in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. I'd like to see that fixed. So I've started trying to port the userland ppp daemon from FreeBSD 8.0: ... I guess the next step is to make a package out of this thing... Any suggestions on how I should proceed? I'm generally familiar with Debian packaging, but I wonder if there are any kfreebsd-specific tricks, especially since here there's no upstream tarball and a good few patches (I'm not used to the new quilt stuff...) I would also appreciate help on how to manage a package through SVN or SVK. We have shared SVN on alioth, see http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/?op=log In the case of ppp, the source is already included in freebsd-utils source package ;-) You could start with apt-get get source freebsd-utils, add your patch, alter debian/rules, ...

I am using PPP for quite some time now with my UMTS stick. The gotcha is that the lock directory is a different one and thus you need to create it first.
