-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I am looking for a sponsor for netenv, which is orphaned (#188167) and ITA'd by me. I'm Cc:'in debian-laptop (to which I'm not subscribed) and some developers who have answered to bugs. Description: Configure your system for different network environments Netenv creates a file containing variable assignments which reflect the current environment. It is especially useful for notebook computers, since it is used (if configured) by the PCMCIA setup scheme included in the Debian pcmcia-cs package and the plip setup script included as an example in this package. You can also use netenv to configure your window manager or your printing environment. . Note that you either have to specify a kernel parameter or enter the chosen environment by hand during boot time. The boot process will stop until you entered something. I had yet agreed with a Debian developer I know, Bernhard Link, that he would sponsor me. However, he seems to be on vacation or the like for quite some time, and I would like to get the new package into Debian soon, so that it can get into sarge. Please note the following: - - Current netenv in Debian is heavily outdated, it is version 0.82 (and standards-version 2.4.1.0), current upstream (and my packages) are 0.94.2 (and Standard-version 3.6.0) - - Bernhard had yet agreed essentially that the package is o.k., and I hope that in future uploads he will act as my sponsor again - so there won't be a lot to do for a sponsor. - - There was one issue Bernhard wasn't sure about and inclined to disagree with me, regarding debconf. I have discussed this in debian-mentors, see the thread starting with http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2003/debian-mentors-200308/msg00237.html I have decided that as long as I am not able to write a 99.9% secure autoconfiguration script, I should stick to using debconf. Source packages as well as i386 binary packages¹ are available at my web site, on the top of the page: http://www.kuesterei.ch Thank you, Frank ¹in fact it is "nearly" architecture "all", there's only one small utility that's compiled from C source, and could perhaps be replaced eventually. - -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ.
