Package: dbab
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: wishlist
As an idea for dbab-srv setup, it could be cute to let inetd do the
listening. inetd is good for services like dbab-srv with small startup
and relatively infrequent use. dbab would just print http response and
exit. It's amusing to think it could have been "cat" a fixed response -
except for deciding between serving proxy pac or gif.

Hi,
Sorry Kevin for responding late, I'm packing my dbab again, and just
noticed your bug reports, as both of your bug reports never reached my
inbox.
For #876824, spawn dbab out of inetd, I have to turn it down, for the
following reasons:
- I've actually tried spawning dbab out of inetd, but the spawn up
time is 10 to 100 times more than retrieving the actual images.
- the footprint of dbab is extremely tiny even for a machine of 2G in
memory. (and for those machines, spawning up dbab out of inetd will be
on the slower end)
Weighted on both sides, I've decided to sacrifice that tiny memory footprint.
Your https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=876815 is a
reason one, and I'll fix it next.
Thanks for using dbab & contributing ideas.
cheers
