Package: xtel
Version: 3.3.0-5.4
Severity: serious
Sorry for the lack of support of this package. I'm really too busy for
months at work. I tried to add xinetd support into xtel few months ago
but didn't have time to test it before an upload.
Oh... I see why I suffered so much with Xtel, then ;)
Well, wrt the large number of DSL/cable connections in France and the
availability of almost all Minitel services over Internet, I don't think
minitel is still actively used.
Although its use is clearly declining for the reasons you described,
Minitel is still actively used. For the latest statistics, see
http://www.leskiosques.com . For instance, in 2005, more than ten
million hours of connection have been registered.
But if you can help me to update the package, you're welcome.
I'd gladly do my best, but be warned: I'm a newbie. I switched to
GNU/Linux only three months ago.
Especially, if you can test xtel along with xinetd, I could send my last
work to you (not before the next week however).
OK, feel free to send it but with as much explanations as possible ;)
Note that you may find the bug report for Ubuntu interesting since it
concerns the use of Xtel with xinetd instead of inetd and provides a fix
from Julien Gilles. Please see
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xtel/+bug/57303/ .
For the whole discussion (5 messages, in French)
that resulted in this bug report
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user.french/10922/focus=10922
is worth a look IMHO. This fix, once xinetd is installed, works fine; I
tested it.
One final remark: your maintainer account for the Xtel package for
Ubuntu awaits your claim at https://launchpad.net/~delaunay . I know
that Ubuntu is not Debian, but just in case you'd consider activating
it, as Ubuntu uses .deb packages...
Best regards.
All the same, and happy new year (with more free time ;)
