Hi!
grub-client is a distributed webcrawler client written in c++. The
biggest problem with it is that it simply doesn't work, and I don't grok
why. I'm not that familar with c++ and multithreading and don't know
where to look for the bug. Furthermore it seems that on the search
engine front (for which the client crawls) there is no real progress so
I can't say where this project leads to.
I am not sure if there are really people interested, so if noone likes
to pick it up I'll request the removal of the package from testing and
unstable. I don't see any sense in having the package in the pool when
there is no real interest in it, especially if it has a release critical
bugreport on it that I can't track down.
Mail Cc'ed to the RC bugreporter, maybe he is interested to work on the
issue and adopt the package. Jim, if you like to do it I am willing to
sponsor you. The part about sponsoring this package holds for everyone
else too, btw.
So long,
Alfie
