Now that I am getting close to wrapping up the updated vim/gvim packages, I figured it would be a shame to let all this knowledge of ARC and the package integration process go to waste. So I have been looking for additional packages to integrate.
I have identified four packages that I use regularly that I would be fairly straightforward for me to maintain and build. (There are more that I use on a daily basis, but I figured I'd start with a small list and see if anything catches people's interest.) - Gentoo keychain http://agriffis.n01se.net/keychain/ - Keychain is a script that provides some automation around the task of sharing a long-running ssh-agent between processes. (I love this tool) - haproxy http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ High performance tcp/http loadbalancer (This works very well, and is probably the highest performing open source load balancer out there). - autossh - http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/ - Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels (Basically allows you to setup persistent ssh port forwarding tunnels) - dnsmasq http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html - Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. (We use this for lightweight caching name servers) If there is serious interest in any of these packages being integrated, I will acquire a sponsor, and start working on webrevs. Feel free to ask about any of the above packages.
