Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-02 Severity: wishlist * Package name : rocks Version : 2.1 Upstream Author : Victor C. Zandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~zandy/rocks/ * License : LGPL Description : Make network sockets reliable in a transparent way
Rocks protect sockets-based applications from network failures, particularly failures common to mobile computing, including: - Link failures (e.g., unexpected modem disconnection); - IP address changes (e.g., laptop movement, DHCP lease expiry); - Extended periods of disconnection (e.g., laptop suspension). Rock-enabled programs continue to run after any of these events; their broken connections recover automatically, without loss of in-flight data, when connectivity returns. Rocks work transparently with most applications, including SSH clients, X window applications, and network service daemons. You can find the package at ftp://sliepen.warande.net/pub/rocks/. I'd like to hear if this is the best way to package it. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux haplo 2.5.3 #2 do jan 31 13:12:25 CET 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=nl_NL, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
