I have used this on occasion and am interested in it.  I'd love to
co-maintain it.  I have subscribed to curl in the pts, as a start.

Do you intend to help mentoring ?

Bug#717434: RFA: socat -- multipurpose relay for bidirectional data transfer

2013-07-20 Thread Chris Taylor 
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan socat in the next few weeks and would like someone to
adopt the package as it is still useful to many. I no longer have the time
nor motivation/need to continue to maintain it, therefore I am formally
requesting its adoption.


Description-en: multipurpose relay for bidirectional data transfer
Socat (for SOcket CAT) establishes two bidirectional byte streams
and transfers data between them. Data channels may be files, pipes,
devices (terminal or modem, etc.), or sockets (Unix, IPv4, IPv6, raw,
UDP, TCP, SSL). It provides forking, logging and tracing, different
modes for interprocess communication and many more options.
.
It can be used, for example, as a TCP relay (one-shot or daemon),
as an external socksifier, as a shell interface to Unix sockets,
as an IPv6 relay, as a netcat and rinetd replacement, to redirect
TCP-oriented programs to a serial line, or to establish a relatively
secure environment (su and chroot) for running client or server shell
scripts inside network connections. Socat supports sctp as of 1.7.0.


Thanks,
Chris
