From b2c36e6c0e1655aea9b1b0a03a8160f42a26c884 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Pali=20Roh=C3=A1r?= Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2020 18:46:01 +0100 Subject: Rename rp-pppoe.so plugin to pppoe.so MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Original out-of-tree rp-pppoe plugin for pppd software is still available at website https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/rp-pppoe/ and receives new releases. The last update is from the June 2020. Currently it is ambiguous if user is using original out-of-tree rp-pppoe plugin or in-tree pppd's rp-pppoe plugin. These two plugins are different, come from different sources but share same name. Some users want to use original rp-pppoe plugin and not pppd's in-tree rp-pppoe plugin. Also some distribution want to package both plugins, pppd's in-tree and original rp-pppoe. So for this reason and also because all other PPP over plugins have just pppo prefix, rename in-tree rp-pppoe.so plugin to just pppoe.so. This will allow to distinguish and make it clear what is the original rp-pppoe plugin and what is pppd's in-tree pppoe plugin. When installing pppd create a compatibility symlink from pppoe.so to rp-pppoe.so so nothing would be broken. This compatibility symlink may be removed by Linux distribution which do not want to have compatibility with the old name as before and rather use rp-pppoe.so name for original rp-pppoe software.
