Bug#204677: ITP: resolvconf -- Nameserver information manager.
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-09
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : resolvconf
Version : 0.35
Upstream Author : Name <jdthood@yahoo.co.uk>
* URL : http://alioth.debian.org/projects/update-resolv
* License : GPL
Description : Nameserver information manager
Resolvconf is already packaged for Debian, but there are
wrinkles to work out. The upstream author is willing to share
packaging duties. Note that the earlier ITP of this package
(#203131) was withdrawn.
(Long Description)
Resolvconf is a framework for keeping track of the system's
information about currently available nameservers. It sets
itself up as the intermediary between programs that control
network interfaces and supply nameserver information, and
applications that need nameserver information.
.
This package contains hook scripts that cause resolvconf to
collect resolver information from the PPP daemon, DHCP
clients and ifupdown. It also contains "update" scripts
that provide this information in the required format to the
libc resolver and bind. Other packages such as dnsmasq and
laptop-net also include hooks and update scripts for
integration with the resolvconf system.
Closes: #203367
