* Package name : gmid Version : 2.1.1 Upstream Contact: Omar Polo <[email protected]> * URL : https://gmid.omarpolo.com * License : ISC Programming Lang: C Description : Full-featured Gemini (protocol) server written with security in mind gmid is a full-featured Gemini (protocol) server written with security in mind. It can serve static files, has optional FastCGI and proxying support and a rich configuration syntax. gmid also bundles a small gemini client called ‘gg’ (gemini get), a small command-line server for quick testing called ‘gemexp’ and a titan implementation. The only other Gemini protocol server packaged for Debian is molly-brown. gmid: - written in C - supports name based virtual hosting - supports FastCGI - supports Proxying - Installed size ~ 728 KB molly-brown: - written in Golang - intended for shared hosting / multiple user environments - support for ~username URLs - supports CGI and SCGI - Installed size ~ 5992 KB Both chroot and run with user privileges. With only a single other option, I think gmid would offer a good alternative so users can pick the one that best fits their needs. gmid is actively developed, its developer was very quick to review and apply my patches for Debian. This is my first Debian package, so I'd need a sponsor, and will upload to mentors and RFS once I'm done packaging. While I'm all for team-maintainance, I don't see existing teams where gmid would fit. Suggestions welcome, and if someone feels like co-maintaining, please let me know. Otherwise, I think I can manage and will ask the community (IRC #debian-mentors, mailinglist, ...) if I need help. For those who want to take a look, I'm currently working on this package at: https://salsa.debian.org/jkossen/gmid
