Yeah, my Netwinder is flaky, and it is NAT'ted to port 13808 because of Charter.Net blocking port 80. I used to have the xdrum_1.7.orig.tar.gz online, but I wrote xdrum_1.7 and I just made it a Debian native package, hence no need for the original. If you look in the dir, xdrum_1.5.tar.gz was the original by Olof Astrand back in 1997. Xdrum 1.6 was my private development version and I skipped to 1.7 for the Debian native version.
I emailed Olof many years ago and he wrote back, but I have been unable to contact him for three years or so.

Still, I am back on my "must join Debian" kick and I really intend to join. It may take years, oh well. Instead of adopting a package I have resurrected one:

If nobody else steps up then let me know. I can't connect to your web server at the moment, but Google suggests you have an 'xdrum_1.7-2.tar.gz' file. It's normally better to put a pristine upstream source tarball in xdrum_1.7.orig.tar.gz and let dpkg-source build the source package in source+diff format; that way the Debian-specific changes are easier to review.
Regards,
Like I said, I took over upstream. There are no Debian specific changes because it is now Debian-native. Until it gets accepted then I see no reason to make a diff to my own code.
And I'm sorry, I don't want to appear to be pummeling the Debian-Mentors group with sorry-a##ed appeals for instant membership. I just really do want to get involved, and unfortunately I lost my old mentors email when I rebuilt my system and I want to re-connect with somebody. I know that it is not an instant process. Nuff said.
