Hello,
Now, I mean this without any annoyance, I hope you'll know. I hope you won't be annoyed, either, that I'm responding about this. As I see it (and as I do try to explain, in short terms, below) this feature-request seems not truly resolved.

I would reopen this feature request, if I could. I don't think it's any huge issue, truly, but I am stubbornly set about doing what I may, to ensure that this may be considered -- as time would allow -- for implementation within pppd. * Motivation: The requested feature, if and when it may be considered and applied, should serve to improve the design of PPPD -- for/as PPPD may be applied upon hosts connecting to networks via dialup/ISDN systems. * Why I'm not patching this up,myself: 1) I don't know enough of C, and I don't presently have the time to try to learn it, enough to apply this, myself. 2) I am not the primary/utmost authority about PPPD * In Conclusion, Kindly Intended As I'd hoped would have been noticed, of what I'd mentioned: I hope this feature request -- mentioned before, in prior message -- that it may be considerd by the primary authorities about PPPD -- namely, by the upstream developers/engineers of PPPD. I would have tried to contact them, myself, but I was not sure who to contact. * Off Topic - Pardon if This Reads like "Line Noise" Plainly, I won't spend your time about any huge description, about "integrating the bug tracking system with software/product project management system and - therein - with the general design/documentation system, as well as with any primary communication system, of the development team". Certainly, any experience -- of or "via" the Debian BTS -- is useful, for (kindly) exemplifying "why such needs to be done, formally, in notable, applicable, and FOSS form -- and may be presented, then, for the Debian development team to benefit by, if they would consider it useful. I don't know what Debian developers will think of GForge [ http://gforge.org ], either; incidentally, it will be the target of some appliation, about the above-said. (When I may, I'l have to mention that on a debian-devel mailing list -- I notice this, hehe -- about which, a promise is made, here, and I'll take myself, when I can, to the footwork about it. Today doesn't include "integrate GForge with Debian" as a project, hehe.) Sincerely, Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
