* Package name : miniupnpd Version : 1.6.20120121 Upstream Author : Thomas Bernard <miniu...@free.fr> * URL : http://miniupnp.free.fr/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C Description : daemon providing UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) services MiniUPnPd is a small daemon providing UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) services to your network. UPnP and NAT-PMP are used to improve internet connectivity for devices behind a NAT router. Any peer to peer network application such as games, IM, etc. can benefit from a NAT router supporting UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. For example the latest generation Microsoft XBOX 360 and Sony Playstation 3 game machines use UPnP commands to enable the online play with the XBOX Live service and the Playstation Network. It has been reported that MiniUPnPd is correctly working with the two consoles. Note that I've been waiting quite a while until it's finally possible to package this software. Recent inclusion of (now embedded) kernel headers for iptables, which are still not packaged in Debian, in the upstream sources, makes it possible to finally compile this software in Debian, while this has been possible for years in other distributions. I don't want to relaunch a controverse, so please do not start a troll here, but I'd still prefer if these were in iptables-dev. It seems there's no choice, so I agree with upstream decision. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
