This is a new tentative on finding a sponsor. Matt? ;) I'm updating parts of a previous post, available here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2004/debian-mentors-200403/msg00003.html The usual description for the RULI package is: RULI stands for Resolver User Layer Interface. It's a library built on top of an asynchronous DNS stub resolver. RULI provides an easy-to-use interface for querying DNS SRV resource records (RFC 2782). The goal is to promote wide deployment of SRV-cognizant software. RULI aims to fully support SRV-related standards. There are bindings for Perl and PHP4. The licensing is under GNU GPL. Detailed info can be found on Savannah: http://www.nongnu.org/ruli/ I think the main RULI benefit is the factoring of queries for DNS SRV records in a standards-compliant way. RULI attachs to applications by using the Liboop library (http://liboop.org/) currently available for Debian. I see most applications try to implement their own DNS subsystems which lack adherence to the standards. SIP implementations come to mind. By making RULI available under Debian, I hope to ease the "correct" adoption of SRV records by application developers. The bug report is here: ITP: ruli -- Library for easily querying DNS SRV records http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234303 Tentative package files are here: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/ruli/ I have also dupload'ed packages to: http://mentors.debian.net/ I have a signature of [EMAIL PROTECTED] on my gpg key. I suppose that is sufficient for confirming my identity? Volunteers, please step forward. =) Thanks, Everton ______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
