Bug#177233: [RFA]: acct -- GNU (process) Accounting utilities
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
GNU acct is a small and fairly simple package providing a few executables to
summarize and aggregate process accounting information logged by the kernel
(if the relevant 'BSD Process Accounting' option is enabled).
The package is 'lintian clean', but has three outstanding bugs all of which
are upstream. But therein lies the rub: acct has been orphaned upstream for
several years now.
So I am looking for someone to not only take over from me following the
almost 7.5 years that I have maintained the package, but to also fix the
upstream code. That is not my cup of tea as I live mostly in user-space, and
this is a (simple) systems program. Decent C knowledge and access to a
variety of (non-Linux) Unix systems would help.
The upside of this GNU maintainership. I had it offered to me, but I don't
have the time or dedication given 37 other packages, job, family etc.
Given all this, I would like to reserve the right to pick a suitable
candidate should several volunteers step forward.
Cheers, Dirk
