Hello,
Yes I think there will be more time for ftp.proxy in the future, but I do
not decline any help.
The first step in this direction is the cvs repository I created. I will
make it public readable soon.
The plans for the future are the following I would be glad to get help for it.
- Migration to autoconf/libtools
- Package-maintaining for debian / sun / rpm / cygwin
- Improving cygwin interoperability.
- Improving server (standalone) mode.
- Extending log capability to get analyzable logfiles. (Maybe webalizer?)
Regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Are you willing to consider re-hosting the project on sourceforge such
that you can delegate some of the more critical tasks? Right now you are
the only gatekeeper of the code and the web site. As we have seen, this
creates a single point of failure if you need to take time off from it.
At least on Sourceforge you can give others update & release abilities
while you are away. While I understand that this means you could lose
some control of the project (you have to trust others), it is much
better than losing the whole project because no-one wants to work with
it due to lack of response. I have already heard many responses on the
'net along the lines of "don't use ftp.proxy, it has been abandoned". I
want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
As for those specific tasks you mention, I will take on the
autoconf/libtools thing right now. I have done that many times before.
Damian

Hi Andreas,
I'm very glad to see you back online, I wondered if the people who told me to
use other ftp proxies were right or not, and I'm very happy to see that
ftp.proxy will still have a long life :-) (and, to be frank, to see that I
won't
have to change my proxy for another one...)
I'm okay to give some help:
- I've already done some rpm packages a few years ago and may do some packaging
for ftp.proxy.
- As I've already announced, I use a modified version of ftp.proxy that is a
little easier to compile on Solaris (with Sun's compiler) and that is more
compliant to some firewalls stateful ftp bugs.
Here is the patch.
This patch contains changes on the makefile that will be of course useless if
you wan't to use automake/autoconf as you announced...
- I would be glad to give you other patches if I need to make other changes to
your code.
- Maybe I could too take some time to help you in making ftp.proxy a
standalone
daemon (and make it independent of inetd or tcpserver).
I do not have enough time to give you help for tasks such as beeing one of your
backups for maintenance and so on. Nevertheless, I agree with Damian that such
backup(s) would be very useful.
As for a new web hosting for the project, may a suggest to use savannah instead
of sourceforge, to be more sure of ftp.proxy independance?
(see http://savannah.gnu.org/ and http://savannah.nongnu.org/ for more
information)
Best regards.
Gregoire.
