Hi Jurij, I am still working on ulogd2 though I must admit I did not have much time. The current state is that the packages are basically working and ulogd2 seems functional (rather stable here). However, there are still some problems: - there is no upgrade path (and there will probably never be upstream) from ulogd1. - I'd like to propose dbconfig as an option, to be able to create the database etc. automatically - Current packaging was copied from another package, and is using cdbs (which I do not like personally), but this is a minor point unless it prevents from maintaining it correctly - Things upstream are not finished, there are still some pending patches That said, I could have uploaded something to experimental. Temporary (old) packages can be found here: http://www.wzdftpd.net/downloads/ulogd2-deb/ (Version numbering is not correct) I am just about leaving Paris for vacation, so I won't be able to work on it this week. I'll try to update the packages after. Cheers, Pierre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
