pppd, ip-up and ip-down
Hi,
I just upgraded pppd and I found that it has deleted my
/etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down files and replaced with empty files :evil:
This is bad, can be solved for future updates?
Thanx,
Carlo

Re: pppd, ip-up and ip-down
Replacing config files during updates is pretty much normal pacman upgrade behavior. If you don't want these files to be messed with, add this line to your /etc/pacman.conf
NoUpgrade = etc/ppp/ip-up etc/ppp/ip-downThe suggestion box only accepts patches.

Re: pppd, ip-up and ip-down
NoUpgrade is not a complete solution. the package is supposed to know which files are config files, in order to back up with .pacsave
speaking of which... did you check to see if your pppd conf files have been backed up? 
perhaps it's working normally.

Re: pppd, ip-up and ip-down
backup=('etc/ppp/chap-secrets' 'etc/ppp/pap-secrets' 'etc/ppp/options')
It would appear that it does not back the files in question up.

No, the files have been overwritten, not backed up 
backup=('etc/ppp/chap-secrets' 'etc/ppp/pap-secrets' 'etc/ppp/options')
I think the better solution is to add the two files in this line of PKGBUILD.
Bye

Re: pppd, ip-up and ip-down
I agree these two files should be included in the backup=() array. it is a completely reasonable and easy request.
i would be more inclined to file it as a feature request as it is not so much a bug as an oversight.
