Package: wnpp Severity: normal I'm offering some packages up for adoption so I have more time for the others.
retty so far only exists on i386, though upstream has said they would want to port it to amd64. There's also a bash script that uses gdb to do the same, maybe it could be shipped along with retty. (Attached.) Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this package if you are *sure* you will have enough time and attention to work on it. If you want to be the new maintainer, please see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-rfa for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly. Some information about this package: Package: retty Binary: retty Version: 1.0-1 Priority: extra Section: utils Maintainer: Christoph Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 4.0.0) Architecture: i386 Standards-Version: 3.7.2 Format: 1.0 Directory: pool/main/r/retty Files: 25edd0d47d623da7c7c96d9cefd07a71 546 retty_1.0-1.dsc f49667d8115b7c5a907058c9623fc465 13738 retty_1.0.orig.tar.gz 3ca26d7510ee97138ed6fc8366b73615 1325 retty_1.0-1.diff.gz Package: retty Priority: extra Section: utils Installed-Size: 68 Maintainer: Christoph Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.0-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) Filename: pool/main/r/retty/retty_1.0-1_i386.deb Size: 9560 MD5sum: c44bc6d992192cdd17060437ff80f6e1 SHA1: 0bef69f0d39215b9693ddea4eede4ca5da30ad31 SHA256: 74ffc1cdae1da8c7479f04261ecd597d8c234974b4e7b5fd4db2a820aee51e56 Description: attach processes running on other terminals retty is a tiny tool that lets you attach processes running on other terminals. So you were running that mutt outside of screen at your home machine and now wanna check your mail? Attach it with retty, do whatever you want, detach it again and everything is as it was before. You don't have to run them all in screen just in case. . Note that the tool is only very lightly tested, so take some care. Always check first if attaching given application works before you will do it for real. Christoph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/
