Hi there! I've been doing some work on the smokeping package in the past few weeks/months with anarcat.
Namely, * a new upstream release was packaged and sent to experimental, and we're trying to get it into sid very soon. * I've written and submitted a patch upstream in response to a bug report in the BTS to make smokeping work better with newer versions of FPing (3.16+). It should make it so that the FPing probes doen't mix up IPv4 and IPv6 anymore with the recent versions of fping. This should land in a package real soon (it was merged upstream today) Future work that I intend to do is to get rid of as many lintian errors as possible, and then start working on the currently present bug reports in the BTS (from the easiest first). It is an invaluable learning experience for me since I'm new to debian packaging. Anarcat has marked myself as package maintainer, and I intend to continue work on the package. However, I'm not closing the door to collaboration with the Internet Measurement Packaging Team as was suggested by Iain. For now, pull requests on the git repository in salsa would be great, until I can feel more confident about how the package is holding things together. Cheers!
