Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the ngetty package.
The package description is:
Ngetty is a daemon that starts login sessions on virtual console
terminals, on demand. It is a good replacement for all those getty
processes started from init that, most of the time, are only taking
up memory. Since it is compiled statically with dietlibc, the ngetty
binary size is only about 2k and uses considerably less memory than a
usual getty implementations.
Upstream ( http://riemann.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/ngetty/ ) has gone, and
things around system daemon has been changed. The original idea might
be still valid, but the software itself would be questionable. Thus,
I stop maintaining.
