I've packaged a rough first cut of noffle and put it up for ftp at
ftp://ftp.murphy.nl/pub/debian/noffle/ . The installation doesn't
do anything besides unpack the files at the moment; the next version
(after my vacation, about two weeks starting tomorrow) will update
inetd.conf, put a crontab somewhere, have ip-up / ip-down scripts, ...
I'll upload that version at that time.
One user says that it works at least as well as the version he had
compiled himself, so that's not bad :-)
