Hi Peter, I am interested in possibly adopting the Debian microsocks package following your RFA #1143447, but I have not filed an ITA yet.
I have reviewed the current Debian packaging and the small upstream codebase, checked the BTS, tracker, Salsa repository/CI, upstream status, reverse dependencies, popcon, and the security tracker, and rebuilt the unchanged 1.0.5-3 package in an updated unstable sbuild environment. The source and binary builds, the nocheck profile, lintian, autopkgtest, uscan, and the test-tunnel functional tests all passed; Debian's reproducibility status and the current Salsa pipeline are also green. I also found a few upstream-facing robustness points around SOCKS-over-TCP framing, handshake timeouts, and cleanup when pthread_create() fails that I would like to discuss rather than change without coordination. Could you tell me what you would expect from the handover and whether there is any pending work or preferred maintenance workflow I should know about? If I decide to proceed, would you be willing to accompany me through the handover and, explicitly, to review and sponsor my first upload? Best regards, Federico
