No intend to package vbox
Hi, here at work we are going to use vbox. Since there is no Debian package already I wonder if somebody has interest in packaging it. I don't feel much interest but need for it so I would appreciate if s/o else would step forward. Regards, Joey -- orgatech - Ihr Partner in Sachen Internet

As Ruud reminded me isdnutils contains a vbox, but a quite old version. What we need is vbox 2 beta 4. It is available via ftp and should probably be included in the isdnutils package or packaged up separately. Currently I have difficulties detecting a source URL but the file is called vbox2b4*. Ah, finally found it: ftp://ftp.netwave.de/pub/linux/drivers/isdn/vbox2b4.tar.gz Regards, Joey PS: It seems to be included in SuSE 5.2 -- orgatech - Ihr Partner in Sachen Internet

What we need is vbox 2 beta 4. As far as I can see isdnutils-3.0-8 includes vbox 2.0.0 beta 5, which is a little bit newer than vbox 2 beta 4 with the following changes: | ** | Changes since 2.0.0 Beta 4 | ** | | 31-Mar-98 | = | | [Rel] 2.0.0 beta 5 released. | | 26-Mar-98 | = | | [New] src/libvbox.h | src/modem.c | src/modem.h | src/voice.c | src/voice.h | src/vbox.c | |SUSPEND support for newer Hisax (only 2.1.X kernel in the moment) > PS: It seems to be included in SuSE 5.2 And it is included in Debian 2.1 ;-) Tscho Roland -- * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.rhein.de/~roland/ * PGP: 1024/DD08DD6D 2D E7 CC DE D5 8D 78 BE 3C A0 A4 F1 4B 09 CE AF

Sound reasonable. > isdnvbox vbox Hmmm, maybe this should be split into two packages, the vboxgetty and vboxd on the one hand and the vbox client on the other hand. What I want to say is, that there should be some chance to install only the vbox client on a machine without the need to install a complete isdn subsystem.

'isdnmon' is probably a better name than 'isdnmonitoring'. also, i've been meaning to submit a bug report about the following: one thing that would be really great would be if isdnutils could be upgraded WITHOUT taking down any running ippp connections. it's a bit difficult to upgrade isdnutils on a remote server when your only way of getting to is via an ssh session over the ippp0 link. the ssh package used to have a similar problem - all ssh sessions were terminated when the package was upgraded...which meant i needed a telnet daemon running in order to safely upgrade ssh (which defeated part of the purpose of using ssh). anyway, take a look at how ssh solved that problem...there may be useful ideas in there for you. you want me to submit a real bug report or is this message enough to get it added to your TODO list ? craig -- craig sanders

Yeah, except I have this feeling there's some program called isdnmon out there, in which case it's confusing. > also, i've been meaning to submit a bug report about the following: > > one thing that would be really great would be if isdnutils could be > upgraded WITHOUT taking down any running ippp connections. it's a bit There's already a wishlist bug outstanding on this topic (#29255).
