Three weeks isn't an unheard-of delay. Anyway, this weekend, james and I cleaned incoming, so, currently, incoming will be empty after the dinstall run (approx 6 hours away). What I would like to ask... I noticed during this stint that several libraries got upgraded from things like libfoo0 to libfoo1. If this is one of your packages, please file a bug on ftp.debian.org to have the obsolete packages removed. this will not happen for some time, to allow for packages to be recompiled for the new library.

anyway, if you say that the wav file does not play properly, contact the

it would be in the archive overnight. - But it isnt, so it wont.

Seems like a worthwhile change.

Bug#220301: ITP: entropy -- Emerging Network To Reduce Orwellian Potency Yield
Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-11-12 Severity: wishlist * Package name: entropy Version : 0.6.1-362 Upstream Author : Juergen Buchmueller * URL : http://entropy.stop1984.com/en/home.html * License : GPL Description : Emerging Network To Reduce Orwellian Potency Yield ENTROPY is developed as a response to increasing censorship and surveillance in the internet. The program connects your computer to a network of machines which all run this software. The ENTROPY network is running parallel to the WWW and also other internet services like FTP, email, ICQ. etc. For the user the ENTROPY network looks like a collection of WWW pages. The difference to the WWW however is that there are no accesses to central servers. And this is why there is no site operator who could log who downloaded what and when. Every computer taking part in the ENTROPY network (every node) is at the same time server, router for other nodes, caching proxy and client for the user: that is You. After you gained some experience with the ENTROPY network, there are command line tools for you to insert whole directory trees into the network as a ENTROPY site. So ENTROPY does for you what a webspace provider does for you in the WWW - but without the storage and bandwidth costs and without any regulation or policy as to what kind of content you are allowed to publish. Everyone can contribute his own ENTROPY site for everybody else to browse through. The contents is stored in a distributed manner across all available and reachable nodes and no one can find out about who put up what contents into the network. Even if your node is not actively running, your contents can be retrieved by others -- without knowing that it was actually you who published the files. Of course this is only true if you do not publish your name (or leave your name or other personal data in the files you publish)

leds.

The package contains a manpage, text documentation, and a
configuration file.

Platforms
i386 Linux. Source is included and should be portable to most UNIX
flavours and probably MS-DOS compilers too.

I found tleds not all that easy to use, and I only had to type `make` and `./netleds console ppp0 &` and it is still running, even after a disconnect or two... But, I will have another look at tleds, to see if it is worth me packaging netleds.

VX Chipsets and 2.2.5
