Package: wnpp Severity: normal Tags: ipv6 Hi,
due to a job change a while ago, I'm no more using dhcpy6d and I currently also don't have a setup where I'm able to test it properly before uploading. The listed co-maintainer, Henri Wahl (X-Debbugs-Cc'ed), is actually upstream and he has started the package initially while I revamped it to be uptodate with Debian standards. Upstream does publish .deb packages of dhcpy6d, but they're meant for Debian Stable and their packaging doesn't change much unless the package in Debian Unstable changes. Upstream says, he's not experienced enough with Debian's standards and procedures to maintain the Debian's official dhcpy6d package himself alone. (And he would need a sponsor anyways.) So we're basically searching for someone who can take over the main part of packaging work for dhcpy6d. Anything which is related to upstream code should be already covered by Henri as the communication with him works very good (usually GPG encrypted :-). It works so good that we currently do the Debian packaging in upstream's git repo at https://github.com/HenriWahl/dhcpy6d in the branch "debian". Currently the dhcpy6d package in Debian is multiple releases behind upstream: 0.4.3 vs 0.7.2. So getting a new upstream version into Debian would be the first thing to do for the prospective new maintainer of this package. It's already a "3.0 quilt" package, but still at debhelper 9 and standards version 3.9.8 (as in Stretch). Information about the package: Package: dhcpy6d Version: 0.4.3-1 Installed-Size: 255 Maintainer: Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org> Architecture: all Depends: adduser, ucf, python:any (<< 2.8), python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~) Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.16.5) Suggests: python-dnspython, python-mysqldb, python-psycopg2 Description-en: MAC address aware DHCPv6 server written in Python Dhcpy6d delivers IPv6 addresses for DHCPv6 clients, which can be identified by DUID, hostname or MAC address as in the good old IPv4 days. It allows easy dualstack transition, addresses may be generated randomly, by range, by arbitrary ID or MAC address. Clients can get more than one address, leases and client configuration can be stored in databases and DNS can be updated dynamically.
