Well, it *does* have some users: http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=gidentd However, its original author said he doesn’t even really want to look at the source code any more and would do things in a diffe- rent way today. If you find another ident dæmon with the same functionality, no objections from me (although this doesn’t count for much anyway). This is a good textbook example of how to fix IPv6 bugs though ☺ and the code is simple and clean enough for that, and it looks, except for the signal handler, good enough to me on first look. I think if there is interest (not me) one could take this over. Interestingly enough, the Debian pool is taken as upstream dist- file source for Gentoo GNU/Linux… so popcon is not all. bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
