Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2001-05-07 Severity: normal Distributed-net is fairly well maintained upstream, but it's binary-only, and it's therefore a pain to package. It is, however, simple to produce binaries for other architectures: simply use the -a<architechture> command-line switch for dpkg-buildpackage (and thus debuild) and you can produce everyone's packages. This is not a bad package for a new maintainer to take, but it's not a great way to learn debian packaging: it's atypical in a number of ways.
In any case, I'll continue to maintain it, but I am not going to be implementing the wishlist bugs in it. If someone wants to, they're free to have distributed-net. (Maybe you'll want to pick up distributed-net-pproxy, now orphaned by Anthony Towns). -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux pisces 2.4.4 #1 Sat Apr 28 02:29:56 EDT 2001 i686
