Leaving the general Debian bashing aside, I've done quite a bit of work with the Debian smokeping packages and I'm sorry it didn't work for you. If somebody feels they could and wanted to do a better job, Debian is a volunteer organisation. I'd love to see a new maintainer for the package as my own interests have shifted elsewhere. The package has been up for adoption since February, see http://bugs.debian.org/568742 In the meantime I'm still taking care of any critical issues. -- Niko Tyni [email protected] _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
