- Description:
- This is a port of the "pptp-linux" PPTP client. It can establish a
PPP connection with an NT server, tunneled through a PPTP link over
the Internet. In effect, it makes the client machine behave as if
it were on the same LAN as the server.
John Polstra has created the port, including bug fixes that were
subsequently integrated in the upstream release, and a patch to
use FreeBSD's userland "ppp" package rather than "pppd" which it
was originally designed to use.
There is no manpage for this package, but you will find some
quickstart instructions and example configuration files in
"${PREFIX}/share/examples/pptpclient".

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Implement new virtual category: net-vpn for VPN related ports
based on discussion at ports@ [1]. As VPN softwares are put in different
physical category net and security. This is a little bit confusing. Let's
give them new virtual category net-vpn.

Avoid running /bin/ip which doesn't exist on FreeBSD.
I get the following error every time I run pptp:
/bin/ip: not found
/bin/ip: not found
Since /bin/ip doesn't exist on FreeBSD it doesn't make sense to try
and run it, and pptp appears to function without it (this change
certainly won't make things any worse). I've done a minimally
invasive change which just makes it run /usr/bin/true instead. |
