Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

ppp: simplify the code using generic functions for getting username/password

Ritesh,

We need a quantal debdiff for this SRU as well could you please try to have that done by tomorrow?

Thanks
Adam

Let's wait for this patch to be landed in upstream master tree, then I'll happily push it to saucy and raring... for precise and quantal it may require some rework.

I've notified Jiri that I'm curious how ready the patch is to get merged.

I pushed this to n-m's bzr but I won't upload - Mathieu can do that if he's happy. Also didn't do anything with the SRU. Thanks for the fix :-)

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22

Thanks for the precise, quantal and raring debdiffs. They look good, ACK.

I've uploaded them for processing by the SRU team, with a minor change in the version number to prevent collisions.

Thanks!

As a part of the Stable Release Updates quality process a search for Launchpad bug reports using the version of network-manager from precise-proposed was performed and bug 1255592 was found. Please investigate this bug report to ensure that a regression will not be created by this SRU. In the event that this is not a regression remove the "verification-failed" tag from this bug report and tag 1255592 "bot-stop-nagging". Thanks!

Hi Ritesh, can you confirm the patch works for precise?
the package is still in precise-propsed queue!

Hi

  Sorry, I do not have the h/w to test this. The code does seem fine to me ( does not touch ipv6) , and is straight backport of the upstream.

- ritz

This bug is difficult to verify because it requires a DUN capable handset as well as an APN that uses a username and password. If it cannot be verified perhaps it should be rejected so that other fixes can be SRUed for stable releases.

This code is a backport from upstream, I don't think there is a real need to test it again, it is part of the new network-manager so far, and work without any issues.

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu6.1

@jpds - What releases have you tested this on? Is it verification-done for precise and quantal?

Removing the precise and quantal SRUs for this, as no one's stepped up to verify these, and they're blocking further network-manager SRUs. If someone comes forward to do some testing, we can re-upload this patch over the newer uploads.

quantal has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the quantal task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
