-ppp
-^^^
-
-Properly renaming PPTP and L2TP interfaces to pptpX and l2tpX from generic and
-non-informative pppX requires a patch that is neither in the upstream nor in
-Debian.
-
-We keep a fork of Debian's repo at https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian
-
-The patches for pre-up renaming are:
-
-* https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/e728180026a051d2a96396276e7e4ae
-* https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/f29ba8d9ebb043335a096d70bcd07e9
-
-Additionally, there's a patch for reopening the log file to better support
-logging to files, even though it's less essential:
-https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/dd2ebd5cdcddb40230dc4cc43d374055f
-
-The patches were written by Stephen Hemminger back in the Vyatta times.

 No special build procedure is required.
 
-Linux kernel
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In the past a fork of the Kernel source code was kept at the well-known
-location of https://github.com/vyos/vyos-kernel - where it is kept for history.
-
-Nowadays the Kernel we use is the upstream source code which is patched
-with two additional patches from the good old Vyatta times which never made it
-into the mainstream Kernel. The patches can be found here:
-https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build-kernel/tree/master/patches/kernel and are
-automatically applied to the Kernel by the Jenkins Pipeline which is used to
-generate the Kernel binaries.
-
-The Pipeline script not only builds the Kernel with the configuration named
-``x86_64_vyos_defconfig`` which is located in the vyos-build-kernel repository,
-too - but in addition also builds some Intel out-of-tree drivers, WireGuard
-(as long it is not upstreamed) and Accel-PPP.
-
-The ``Jenkinsfile`` tries to be as verbose as possible on each individual build
-step.
-
-Linux Firmware
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-More and more hardware cards require an additional firmware which is not open
-source. The Kernel community hosts a special linux-firmware Git repository
-with all available binary files which can be loaded by the Kernel.
-
-The ``vyos-build`` repository fetches a specific commit of the linux-firmware
-repository and embeds those binaries into the resulting ISO image. This step is
-done in the ``data/live-build-config/hooks/live/40-linux-firmware.chroot`` file.
-
-If the firmware needs to be updated it is sufficient to just exchange the Git
-commit id we reference in our build.
-
-Intel NIC drivers
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-We do not make use of the building Intel NIC drivers except for e1000e. Main
-reason is that the out of tree Intel drivers seem be perform a bit better,
-e.q. have proper receive-side-scaling and multi-queue support.
-
-Drivers are build as part of the Kernel Pipeline - read above.
-
-Accel-PPP
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Accel-PPP used to be an upstream fork for quite some time but now has been
-converted to make use of the upstream source code and build system.
-
-It is build as part of the Kernel Pipeline - read above.
