Package: pagekite
Version: 1.5.2.200603-2
Severity: wishlist
I tried using pagekite 1.5.2.200603-2 that comes with Debian 11. My
configuration was a simple server with only one configuration file
/etc/pagekite.d/10_account.rc:
kitename = *.pagekite.myexamplecorp.com
kitesecret = CENSORED
isfrontend
ports = 1080
protos = raw
rawports = virtual
domain = raw:*.myexamplecorp.com:CENSORED
END
This configuration worked fine in Debian 9 but does not seem to work with
Debian 11. After a long debugging session I noticed that I can get the
service to work with the following patch

I then noticed that these fixes have been in the upstream git already in
2020 (for example in commit 716b7f57102e2a21b8a76154a7885af3b3ed602e) but
they just have not released a new version.
Would it be possible to package a new upstream version? Current version
does not seem to only work as a client with the SaaS server, you cannot
run your own server :(
