Package: wnpp Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the ethstatus package. The package description is: Ethstatus is a console-based monitoring utility for displaying statistical data of the ethernet interface on a quantity basis. It is similar to iptraf but is meant to run as a permanent console task to monitor the network load. Upstream warning: The former upstream developer - Gabriel Montenegro - has given up development of the package so I accepted to become the intermediate upstream contact in May 2003. I pimped the software a bit, wrote a manpage, fixed the code and copyright. But I did not really intend to stay the upstream developer for all times. After all my C knowledge is not exactly guru like. Bugs: There is one minor bug filed against the package that I can't reproduce. Similar packages: IMHO iptraf, iftop or nload serve similar purposes. So I wonder if yet another console network monitor is really needed. If nobody is interested in the package we might as well remove it from Debian. Popcon: Popcon reports 282 installations for ethstatus. Conclusion: If you have some C knowledge and like to be both the upstream and the Debian package maintainer then feel free to adopt the package. It's in good shape IMHO. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
