Good morning to all mentors. This mail I've already sent on February brought me some replies on how to fix the package, but still no developers offered themselves as mentors. Retrying :)
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libiwtan". * Package name : libiwtan Version : 0.1-1 Upstream Author : Marco Cornolti * URL : http://iwtan.sourceforge.net * License : GPL v3 Section : libs It builds these binary packages: libiwtan-dev - IWTAN: Wireless Topology Analyzer - development files libiwtan0 - IWTAN: Wireless Topology Analyzer I'm also searching for a sponsor for the twin package "iwtan-gui". * Package name : iwtan-gui Version : 0.1-1 Upstream Author : Marco Cornolti * URL : http://iwtan.sourceforge.net * License : GPLv3 Section : net It builds these binary packages: iwtan-gui - IWTAN gui Both packages appears to be lintian clean. My motivation for maintaining these packages is: IWTAN: Wireless Topology Analyzer is a library for the analysis of wireless networks. Processing frames captured by a wireless interface in monitor mode, the library tries to guess the topology of the reachable wireless networks (i.e., what Access Points and stations are reachable and how they are associated to each other). From the analyzed frames, IWTAN also takes some information about the components of the networks (like their MAC and IP addresses, the kind of used encryption, etc). The frames can be retrieved from libpcap but the usage of pcap is not mandatory. The library is completely written in C with the aim of being lightweight in terms of CPU and memory usage. It is thought to be versatile and suitable for many applications, for example it supports several "contexts" from which the packets are captured. This means a central program using the library can receive the packets from more than one probe and process them accordingly (this application has many use cases). The documentation is written with Doxygen with the aim of incrasing usability. The library is also configured with the autotools for better compatibility. This library will also be integrated as a plugin for ntop in further releases (see debian package ntop). There is a lot of ways this software can be fixed and expanded. The development of IWTAN is open to external contribution. The best way to have an idea of what IWTAN does, is to use a demonstration GUI (package iwtan-gui). It is built upon the QT library. It contains a binary iwtan-gui and its manpage. The binary should be launched as root with something like: sudo iwtan-gui dev where dev is a wireless device in monitor mode. (Further information about how to launch the program is included in the manpage.) The GUI should show all the reachable Access Points and the stations associated to them. If their icons are clicked, some information about them will be shown on the right. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libiwtan - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/iwtan-gui - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libiwtan/libiwtan_0.1-1.dsc - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/iwtan-gui/iwtan-gui_0.1-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
