xl2tpd: Update to version 1.3.(6|12)
Closed, WontfixPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

As we now run a recent Linux Kernel (4.14, "T583: Upgrade to Linux Kernel 4.14 for supporting latest hardware on the market") a problem arised which is present in xl2tpd 1.3.6 shipped in Debian Jessie (https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/issues/147 "l2tp does not work with 4.15 mainline kernels").

In order to fix this, xl2tps has to be upgraded to a version including this commit: https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/commit/cc909bbb20d3e6e216c3d11e0f328ff906f289a8

The next xl2tpd version will be 1.3.12 but this patch can also be backported to xl2tpd 1.3.6.

My question @dmbaturin @UnicronNL is as follows, how to add those modifications/changes to the VyOS build environment?
a) Fork xl2tpd and backport that patch to the debian/jessie branch? (tested by me)
b) Compile xl2tpd 1.3.12 from source using (debuild -b -us -uc) on VyOS Jenkins (tested by world but not yet together with VyOS)
c) Modify vyos-build/Makefile to add a script four sources that sould be build locally from an upstream source before assembling the image?

Any other ideas are more then welcome ...

Building latest xl2tpd from source (which will become 1.3.12) and integrating it into VyOS will fail with:
Apr 17 21:03:02 LR1 pppd[3322]: In file /etc/ppp/options.xl2tpd: unrecognized option 'crtscts'

My proposal is to backport it to 1.3.6 to save any trouble.

As interim solution I created https://ci.vyos.net/job/xl2tpd and forked xl2tpd to github.com/vyos (containing a backported patch from me).
