Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the rocks package.
The package description is: Rocks protect sockets-based applications from network failures, particularly failures common to mobile computing, including: . - Link failures (e.g., unexpected modem disconnection); - IP address changes (e.g., laptop movement, DHCP lease expiry); - Extended periods of disconnection (e.g., laptop suspension). . Rock-enabled programs continue to run after any of these events; their broken connections recover automatically, without loss of in-flight data, when connectivity returns. Rocks work transparently with most applications, including SSH clients, X window applications, and network service daemons. The current package does not work at all anymore (although it still builds from source). Upstream told me more than a year ago they would fix it, but nothing has happened since then. I also think there are not many users of this package. If noone adopts it, I will ask for its removal. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-rc6 Locale: LANG=nl_NL, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
