[Second attempt for seeking a sponsor] Hi! I've uploaded netdump package to mentors.debian.net and am seeking for a sponsor for this package. The netdump client sets up the kernel to send crash dumps and/or console messages as syslog packets to a remote system. The netdump server listens to the network for crashed kernels to contact it and then writes the oops log and a memory dump to /var/crash before asking the crashed machine to reboot. Netdump relies on CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=m set in the kernel configuration, which is not present in 2.4 series Debian kernels, but is present in 2.6 series Debian kernels. So the package will not work with 2.4 Debian kernels. More information about netdump can be got from: http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/netdump/ I have got permission from netdump's current maintainer Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> to include it in the Debian, and who is happy to see its inclusion.
