Hi Karl,
I too would very much like to see c-ares available on Debian, I am part
of the group trying to get the Secondlife client into Debian and c-ares
is now a dependency that we need.
If you don't want to replace ares with c-ares is it perhaps possible to
get a c-ares package into Debian as
curl can compile against c-ares.
from the list on the c-ares homepage (http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/):
Some noticable changes from ares include:
* IPv6 support
* Many bug fixes
* Extended portability (Mac OS X, RISC OS, Windows, DOS and more)
* 64bit cleaned sources
I wouldn't call the original libarea not actively maintained, just
quieter.
Is there something that you want to to package that uses c-ares? Does
c-ares maintain backward-compatibility?

Hello,
there seems to be a fork of ares called c-ares, available on:
http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/
This distribution seems to be actively maintained. Would you like to
package it RSN and maybe replace libares with libcares (jeez, sounds
like Caries
