Bug#661110: RFA: isdnutils -- ISDN utilities
Hello Rolf, I have seen there is a problem with the pppdcapiplugin package because of changes of the ppp package. I think about overtaking isdnutils. But I also see that there are less users of its install packages each month: The popcon statistic says that only isdnutils-base and capiutils have >100 installations, all others are less. And in the popcon colum "Recent" only capiutils will be used 5 times - and one of them is me. What do you think about break out capiutils as standalone source package (similar to libcapi20-3) and let isdnutils package "die"? It would be nice to hear of your feedback. --- Have a nice day.

SMACK is the "simple MAC kernel" framework similar to selinux but simplified for usage. Other packages for use of SMACK are still not in Debian, but also be needed for use of SMACK: smackutil, smackman, smackpolyport. All SMACK packages are only available as git repo's created for use for the Meego platform. That is the reason that I have made static source package, which can be found here: http://www.joonet.de/smack/upstream/ So I will start with support of SMACK in Debian with this package.

Maybe cron should be After some online search I have also found some cron-like packages inside debian: * bcron = Bruce's cron system binary package sizes: 60 kByte + 8 kByte popcon = 25 Inst. upstream does not exist DM is active * fcron = cron-like with extended capabilities binary package size: 257 kByte popcon = 137 inst. DM seems to be less active upstream is very active: in Debian is version 3.0.1, upstream is 3.0.6! I would say the easiest way would be using fcron as replacement of cron.
