Hi list,
I'm sorry to ask again, but:
What's the maintenance status of the net-tools package?
Is there any chance Lenny will ship with for example working IPv6
support in netstat?
I emailed MIA about this, but MIA went MIA itself, no response anymore.
The bug count is up to 112.
Only two NMU translation uploads have been done in the past two years.
No other uploads at all.

Hm, looks bad indeed. I'll try to see if Bernd Eckenfels is still alive
but if I can't reach him in a week I'll adopt the package.

Looking at the changelog in unstable, pretty much the same as last
time you wrote, aside from the two minor NMUs you mentioned.

Maybe time for a hijack of the package, or at least an NMU to get the
bugs fixed.

Roger

I'm not a DD, so I can't really do that myself. I'm willing to help on
the C coding though.

That's very nice to hear. May I ask what your plans with the net-tools
package are?

And... active?
Would you care to share your plans for net-tools for the next month,
for Lenny, and beyond?
Would you be willing to let guus and Olaf co-maintain the package, or
take it over completely?
There are quite a lot of issues with net-tools, and this is not the
first time Olaf has asked you what is happening. Please could you
show the simple courtesy of actually addressing his concerns, rather
than ignoring them, which is pretty rude. You have not made an upload
in nearly two years. People clearly have problems with it, and it
would be great to know what you are intending to do to rectify them.
IMO guus and Olaf would be completely justified in hijacking it and
co-maintaining it themselves (and for the record, I would be willing
to review and sponsor uploads if needed).
Regards,
Roger
