RFS: micro-inetd (updated package)
Hello there,
how come no developer with networking knowledge above
the average is willing to sponsor this adoption?
The package is orphaned, the upstream author is infamous
for ignoring a handful of network source packages, so there
is no hope of him ever repairing this seriously broken
software. The network code renovations that I personally
have contributed to Debian should be convincing enough
that I am capable of maintaining 'micro-inetd', all the
more so since #354778 has not been attended to in five
years time.

In wonder and surprise,
