Description : Backup and restore Debian specifics (package status, 
  conffiles)
 
  debbackup is a supplemental, Debian-specific, backup program. It backs
  up only what is needed to restore from a fresh install, with data
  recovered - package information (including holds/etc), conffile changes,
  Debconf information, and more. debrestore will restore this information
  - installing/updating required packages, restoring configuration files,
  and more.
 
 Tell me when you upload this, so I can file an rc bug against it, for
 modifying other packages conffiles.

5 serious replies already -- sorry Adam, I'm afraid there are just too
many people that lack even the most basic sense of humour.

Cheers,


Emile.

Bug#193017: ITP: ipsvd -- Internet protocol service daemons

2003-05-12 Thread Emile van Bergen
Hi,

On Mon, May 12, 2003 at 01:16:37PM +0200, Gerrit Pape wrote:

 ipsvd is a set of ``internet protocol service daemons''.  It includes
 daemons for TCP/IP and UDP/IP.  An Internet protocol service (ipsv)
 daemon waits for incoming connections on a socket, and for new
 connections, it conditionally runs an arbitrary program to handle the
 connection.  ipsv daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined
 instructions on how to handle incoming connections.  Based on the
 client's IP address or hostname, it's possible to run different
 programs, set a different environment, deny a connection, or set a per
 host concurrency limit.
 
 ipsvd can be used to run services usually run by inetd, xinetd, or
 tcpserver.  Normally the ipsv daemons are run by a supervisor process,
 such as runsv from the runit package, or supervise from the daemontools
 package.  ipsvd uses the djbdns client library to query the DNS.

Perhaps it's a good idea to compare it to ucspi-tcp's tcpserver? A lot
of functionality seems the same, but your package offers some additional
features such as per host concurrency counting.

Cheers,


Emile.

Even the writer's name in the description is loosely based on the author
of LOTR, J.R.R. Tolkien.
