Title: Announcement: PPTP VPN functionality
Post by: donpaul on August 30, 2009, 04:28:40 AM
I have added PPTP functionality and a PPTP link to the Users section of the web admin. I am working on the wiki page next. Hopefully someone skilled in PHP could double check my code, since this is my first.

Here are the patch files
http://donpaul.info/PPTP_Patch.tar.gz

Here is the script
http://donpaul.info/Setup_PPTP.sh.gz

This is tested on 7.10, and it works for me. Once I build an 8.10 system, I will test it there as well. Let me know if there are any problems.

as soon as you have it running with 810, please open up a trac ticket, mark it feature_patch and attach your script files. That way, we can keep all these patches at a single location.

Thanks

I don't see a way to submit a svn diff patch. Can you point me to it?

did you make the changes in an svn checked out source tree?

svn co http://whatever/you/are/working/on/
make your changes, then cd to the root directory of the checkout ("on" in this case)
svn diff > your-patch-file.patch
drop the patch onto the ticket.

Nope. Sounds like I should have though  :-[

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Ticket has been updated with the SVN diff and new script files. The diff and scripts are for both PPTP and OpenVPN integration.

Is this going to make it into a release?

Is the ticket up-to-date? If so, the beta2 site needs to be updated to get into the release.

Hasn't been touched in two months, but looks like everything is on there.  Has anyone tested this recently?

I don't know if posde will add it to the next build since this is a "feature" and not a "fix". Has a wiki site been created to tell users how to install it?

I will get to this eventually. the core functionality seems to be there, but it needs some better integration with the LinuxMCE firewall as it clobbers some scripts that will then get rebuilt and clobbered right back.
