Package: wnpp Severity: normal It was my first package, it has always been the most advanced and well cared one of mine. I brought it from childhood and it is now a widely used and respected tool. For long time Debian packages have been the best, most updated and cared among the huge amount of distributions it is available for. I had great fun and learned a lot while maintaining it.
But time passes and my interest on curl is getting lower and lower. It is after a long reflection that I decided it is time to bring it to someone more careful than me. I don't think curl needs any presentation. It is a straightforward package, in the sense it is the usual binary/library/-dev/-dbg package, but it is a very popular one and users may have contraddictory needs (see OpenSSL vs GnuTLS). So its maintainer should be a nice leader with a good sources insight, he/she may not be a hero but some experience would be helpful. Daniel, the upstream author, is a great hacker with sharp teeth and has always crawled the BTS. So, unless you are irresponsabile like me, you should have great time with him. Happy hacking, Domenico The package description is: curl is a client to get files from servers using any of the supported protocols. The command is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of interactivity. . curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support, user authentication, ftp upload, HTTP post, file transfer resume and more. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
