Likewise, thanks for reaching out, it's always good to be in touch with the authors of the software we maintain! :) ArpON is team-maintained by the Debian Security Tools Packaging team. I'm CC-ing our team mailing list. If you have any questions and/or requests regarding the package, it's best to reach out to that mailing list. > (...) > I've figured out also that ArpON package for Debian system has got > very big problem: it doesn't create the ArpON's log directory > (/var/log/arpon/) automatically.

The log directory is currently not created during package installation but only when arpon is started using the init system. I will change that so the directory is created when the package is installed instead. > Finally I've figured out also that ArpON package description is old. > So please could you fix it with that new description: > [description from http://arpon.sourceforge.net/ follows] The scope of the Debian description is a bit different from the project's webpage [1] and I think using it directly does not fit well in this case. I'll make an alternative suggestion for an updated description and share that with you so you can comment (but I won't get to that before the weekend). Thanks Lukas PS: I've opened two bug reports with patches a while back. One of them fixes gcc-7 compile errors [2]. It would be nice if those could be included in the next release.
