Does anyone know anything about gnome-ppp http://www.gnome-ppp.org/?
It looks pretty and I'm curious if it's in portage yet or not. I looked but didn't see it and I didn't know if it was in a separate package with other things or yeah.
Any ideas? |

I've just started looking at gnome-ppp today. I use broadband myself but I'm trying to build a Gentoo box for someone else that will work with dialup and use GNOME.
I see that gnome-ppp is a front-end to WvDial and WvDial is in portage now. I also see that there are a bunch of KDE front-ends for it.
What I don't see is anything in portage for gnome-ppp yet. I'm going to try to bring it up from source and then maybe use PORTDIR_OVERLAY. I've never built a portage port before but I have three ports in the FreeBSD ports tree now.
Oh, spoke too soon, there's this
http://gentoo.vidalinux.com/packages/ebuilds/gnome-ppp-0.3.0.ebuild
but the current version is 0.3.2. |

After all that they go and buy broadband at the last minute. 
Can't say I blame them though.  |

Hopefully youre not using gnome-ppp (or considering or whatever) in gnome. Lightwieght wm's are a lot more fun, kinda like blondes

Look at my previous posts for a URL pointing to an ebuild file. You can bump up the version number in that ebuild to the current release's version and it will compile/install with no problems. |

Please, no religous wars about software, thanks.
This thread was started with a request for gnome-ppp after all. |

I use it:

darkhorse root # emerge -s gnome-ppp

* net-dialup/gnome-ppp
Latest version available: 0.3.14
Latest version installed: 0.3.14
Size of downloaded files: 476 kB
Homepage: http://www.gnome-ppp.org/

But I had to download the file from the website (http://www.gnome-ppp.org/download.php) as the ebuild was broken:
