Most of the use I had seen for switchconf was regarding network detection - that can be perfectly handled through divine, laptop-net, laptop-netconf or netapplet... Now, I know switchconf could do some extra stuff (i.e., not be in any way tied to the network, work to switch between arbitrary files in a desktop system)... However, the script is too simplistic, can lead to strange problems, seems to have been thought for laptop-specific use, and was never popular. > What can I do to get it back into the Debian? > PS: I am not a Debian Developer. Well... It could get back into Debian for sure, but there must be somebody responsable for it. You can take the package, even not being a DD, uploading it through a sponsor. You are, besides, the second person who asked me about this, the first one was Martin Krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who _is_ a DD... He might want to resurrect it and take it over or sponsor your uploads. I am sorry... When I decided to let it go, I gave some time expecting nobody would complain about it - and you complained just a little bit too late :-( In the worst case, you can keep Switchconf as a locally generated package, or set up your own internal apt repository for it and whatever other packages you need. I really don't like it, it is too dirty. I wanted to do a complete rewrite, but I never had time to do so.
