Αντικείμενο: Re: [DNG] Edward's Roaming handler: was Systemd Shims
I am uploading the sources for anyone wanting to help themselves. :)

To compile the frontend Lazarus must be installed. Here, I am using version:
1.2.4+dfsg2-1

To compile the C source use:
gcc backend.c -o backend

Manual Configuration of the package: No yet post install script :(
create a directory:
/etc/network/wifi

Move both backend and front end to the same directory.

Outstanding TODO:
Before saving to an existing interfaces file, delete the old one
manually or edit the C source to do it for you.

ENJOY and LONG LIFE DEVUAN!

Compiled successfully on DEVUAN Alpha 64 bit.
