I wasn't suggesting you should autoconfiscate it. I was suggesting the maintainers of the package should. PPP is a bit of a special case because it's been around for so long, it's almost "grandfathered". I suggest you take a look at the PPP makefiles and see if there's not some simpler way to go than reworking it for autoconf: that seems like a huge amount of work. Certainly you shouldn't attempt it, IMO, unless you feel that the PPP maintainers are willing to adopt those changes. Maintaining them out of the tree, as patches, will be difficult. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
