Netmaze: Bug #123741

2002-02-01 Thread Tille, Andreas
Hi, the open bugs of netmaze seem to be easy to fix. At least the RC bug should be considered to be target to fix soon. Would you care about it? Should someone step in? Further problem of the package: There is no upstream URL in debian/copyright. A quick search showed at least ftp://sunsite.
