Bug#434357: RFA: xinetd -- replacement for inetd with many enhancements

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Hi!

What's the status on the adoption of xinetd? Magnus, Franz, did you make
any progress?

I'm not interested in adopting it myself, but would be willing to do an
NMU for the inet-superserver bug (and maybe the typo ones too). Could you
all let me know whether such an NMU would be ok or that a new version is
right around the corner?

I could sponsor packages for the new maintainer(s) of xinetd if required,
let me know.

  Hello Franz,

 with your permission, I would like to adopt xinetd and fix the remaining
 bugs.

  Please do ! If needed, I will be glad to test your new packaging
  before upload.

  Best regards,

  Thomas

I was interested in xinetd too, but I forgot to check this spot before diving 
in. Please consider starting from the attached Debian diff, which does the 
following:

  * Use dpatch to organise patches.
  * Get rid of config.{guess,sub} from Debian diff by using files from
autotools-dev (see 01_autotools-dev.dpatch).

Thomas, what does the remaining diff in 01_debian-patch.dpatch (touching 
service.c) do?

I am looking for someone to adopt the xinetd package. I can't find time
to fix the open bugs, upstream is not really active anymore (no new
version since Oct. 2005), and I do not use the software as much as I
used to.

Please feel free to ping me (keep me Cc:-ed), then adopt the package. No

The package description is:
 xinetd has access control mechanisms, extensive logging capabilities,
 the ability to make services available based on time, and can place
 limits on the number of servers that can be started, among other things.
 .
 It has the ability to redirect TCP streams to a remote host and port.
 This is useful for those of that use ip masquerading, or NAT, and want
 to be able to reach your internal hosts.
 .
 It also has the ability to bind specific services to specific interfaces.
 This is useful when you want to make services available for your internal
 network, but not the rest of the world. Or to have a different service
 running on the same port, but different interfaces.
