Forking source code for puting into Debian?
Hello Developers and Maintaines,
I have packed the package swhoisd <http://dan.drydog.com/swhoisd/> and
tried to contact the second upstream Dan Anders <mailto:dan@drydog.com>
since now over 8 month it he seems to be dead.
Since I must use the "swhoisd" for my Project "Tamay Dogan Network" and
being registrar I took over the sources and packed it for Debian.
The po files are curently updateing.
Tonight I will try it again tu upload it onto <mentors.debian.net> since
dupload had several crashes had segfaults on my Laptop.
Now I have following Question:
In the TODO list it is written (2001) he wouls add db, posgresql and
mysql support...
Since Upstream seem to be dead I want to take over the sources entirely
and want to try to implement the (frm me required) feature for
postgresql.
Doing this, would it be better, if I fork the "Simpe Whois Daemon"
since after adding such support it would not more be a SIMPEL Whois
Daemon...
My prefered name would be "tdwhoisd" since I prefix all of my programs
with my originating Initials (Tamay Dogan).
Note: I have currently no Internet@home and can
only all two day go online (in general).
Thanks for any comments
