Hello!
I've been maintaining the smokeping package for a number of years now
and the more time passes the less I can find the energy to work on the
package.
I'm currently the only person maintaining this package and I know that
it is being used by some folks across debian and its derivatives. I'm
also not a DD or DM so every time I need to push an update I have to
find someone to sponsor my uploads, which slows down my motivation.
So I'd like to open up the door for co-maintenance. I would like to
continue to do some work on it as I can, but I would appreciate some
help for more timely updates in some cases.
smokeping is generally a software that doesn't have new features
developped anymore. However, upstream still regularly accepts patches to
fix bus and it does happen sometimes that a new release is made to
release those fixes. So it's generally a low-maintenance package.
smokeping is a daemon and fastcgi-based web application written in perl
that polls some network targets and uses rrdtools by the same author to
generate latency and availability graphs.
cheers!
