Hi,
as the main author of ipfm, i can give following information:
- there is no homepage for ipfm anymore
- ipfm has not been developed for about 20 years and I do not plan to
change something at this
I can't retain to share my memories...
We developed ipfm in order to get statistics about the Internet Usage of
our student campus which was attached to Renater and The Internet
through the Ecole Centrale Paris. This was a 45 Mbit/s link and every
student had is own, public IP-Address on his PC in his room. We managed
the whole Campus Network and IT within the student assiociation VIA
Centale Reseaux an played with LAN Emulation (ATM), 3com and of course
developed VideoLAN. This was a really great time!
Today, one would use netflow and a netflow collector in order to produce
these stats and much more.
The time may have come to remove ipfm from debian. The decision is by
sam, he is the maintainer of the package. Or is someone still using ipfm
out there? Popcon says 13 votes.
Cheers,
tibob

Package: ipfm
Version: 0.11.4-4.2
The package lack homepage information in d/control, and the homepage
link in d/copyright do no longer work.
Where is its current upstream?
Note, the package could use a maintainer upload to refresh its packaging
and acknoledge the last two NMUs.
