Bug#516222: RFS: libnet - orphaning libnet
retitle 516222 O: libnet -- library for the construction and handling of network packets thanks Hello, libnet has been in RFA (Request for Adoption) for more than a month now, and I'm hereby orphaning it. Someone please pick it up, as it's an important piece of software in Debian. Sam Roberts (CCed) is taking over upstream development, please contact him when adopting libnet. Also CCing one listed Uploader, even though he completely missed from development, bugfixing, anything. To mentors: would someone please upload the package? (sid-lintian clean) http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libnet/libnet_1.1.2.1-5.dsc Thank you. Ciao, David -- . ''`.

I'm willing to maintain it. I'm not familiar with libnet source code but I'm with its subject and I can package it whenever a new version becomes available or when a new package is needed. From what you say, I guess that the homepage[1] will change in the near future. Is there another one ? I see that you use git. Is it madantory to use git? (I'm not familiar with it). Also, I'm somehow new in this maintaining thing, so if there is someone else interested, please do it... ... but if not, I'd appreciate any information I can have.

[1] http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/ Not yet, Sam Roberts is working on it in a github repository: http://github.com/sam-github/libnet/tree/master I see that you use git. Is it madantory to use git? (I'm not familiar with it). No. You (or whoever is going to maintain it) may use whichever $VCS you want. There's some old-ish SVN repository for libnet (I migrated it to git recently, so the history there is not that old -- if you meant to use SVN, that is) http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/collab-maint/deb-maint/libnet But please note that the SVN repo is quite broken [0] -- you may want to remove it and start it all over again (maybe re-importing it from git?) [0] i.e. I wasn't very comfortable with SVN branches, so I just did all the changes in trunk/, and there's a beta version packaged there, which I completely dropped from the Git repo. Also, Sam Roberts seems to have merged bits from there into 1.1.3 (which he's working on), so I'd warmly suggest not to use the existing SVN repo at all. Ciao, David -- . ''`.

Hi Stefanos, if you need help, I could lend a hand now and then. I don't have the time to maintain the package on my own, but I have a faible for old and/or undocumented C code and some experience in delving through networking code in particular, so I could e.g. help hunting bugs.

Thank you for your offer. I'm also quite familiar with C and networking code and I hope that there will be no problems. If there are any I'll annoy you :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Being a user of kmail I don't really know if it is possible to easily handle it. Also, I'm not suer I completely understand what you mean. You want to only send replies to the debian-devel list?

I have to have this stored in an VCS? For some other packages i packaged (only 1 in debian), i used a local copy (at least to begin with). If yes: Do I have to have the whole package in the VCS or just the debian/ directory? From what I've read I assumed that I only need to have local copies (or a versioning system) of debian/. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
