Details

Description: pptpd package installs a one-line configuration file at /etc/pptpd.conf that contains a single comment, "Read man pptpd.conf and write your pptpd configuration here". The man page mentioned is not installed with the package. The source available on the upstream source forge site (http://poptop.sourceforge.net/dox/pptpd.conf.txt) is a complete skeleton for editing. I'd suggest either putting the fully noisy example conf file in place, or getting some man pages written up. The example files are included in the upstream package at http://poptop.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/poptop/poptop-1.1.4/samples/ - these were not installed on my system anywhere by pacman.


Additional info:
* pptpd v1.3.4


Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S pptpd
cat /etc/pptpd.conf
man pptpd.conf
This task depends upon

the configuration file /etc/pptpd.conf lacks a # at the second

it is a matter to change the line in the PKGBUILD to read

echo -e "# Read man pptpd.conf, see samples in /usr/share/doc/pptpd\n# and write your pptpd configuration here" >$pkgdir/etc/pptpd.conf

or remove the \n
