I have been using Debian for 18 months, maybe two years now, as a server for my LAN at home, which is of course, complete overkill, but I enjoy it. For most of that time have been loitering in the Debian and Debian Developer IRC channels on OPN, following the mailing lists, and reading various documentation in my spare moments, despite the fact that IRC expands to fill all available time. I have now decided that I can contribute something to the project, and have accordingly put my name forward on nm.d.o - now I wait. =)
After a failed attempt at packaging sn, a small news server, earlier this year, I tried again yesterday and sucessfully (I think =) packaged the program tcpflow. Tcpflow is a packet grabber which reconstructs each side of the TCP data exchange, called a flow, with one file for each. The packages are available at http://www.hadesian.demon.co.uk/tcpflow/, and the homepage is at http://www.circlemud.org/~jelson/software/tcpflow/. I was wondering if some of you developer types could check over the package, which I admit is very simple, with one binary and one manpage, and tell me if its OK, and maybe sponsor it for upload to woody. Many Thanks, Rob
