To coin a phrase, I am not dead, just sleeping. The current version of arp- scan in Debian is functionally complete IMO. There are some open bugs however a lack of any pressing need to upgrade the version in Debian, along with the loss of contact with my original sponsor lead to the neglect of the package for too long. If other people are interested in (co-)maintaining it then great but I'm more than happy to continue. FWIW of the 3 ourstanding bugs 1 relates to the release of 1.7 (which didn't IMO add any pressing features) and 1 related to a change to support a shared OUI database (which floundered with a lack of interest from all packagers not just myself). The 3rd was only filed last week and is one that I could fix fairly quickly if I had a sponsor. Tim -- Tim Brown <mailto:t...@nth-dimension.org.uk> <http://www.nth-dimension.org.uk/>
