Another fix for gpptp

March 29, 2022 — BarryK

I posted about a bug reported by JASpup and OscarTalks:

https://bkhome.org/news/202203/broken-optionspptp-file-fixed.html

They also commented that 'yaf-splash' popups are not working. Yes, yaf-splash cannot have a tab character in the message. I have fixed that, and updated jafadmin's PET:

https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/noarch/packages/pet/pet_packages-noarch/gpptp-noarch-2.0-jafadmin-20220328.pet

That PET is a wrapper for binary executable /usr/bin/gpptp, source here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/sources/alphabetical/g/gpptp-2.0-jafadmin.tar.bz2

Neither of these are internationalized. I have internationalized the PET, though don't know if locale variables, such as LANG, are passed to the scripts.

I would like to do a search, find out if anyone internationalized the gpptp executable; however, puppylinux.com is currently down -- rockedge and 01micko are working on that.
