Re: What was




Paul,

Thank you for the sleuthing and yes, it seems like the issue was resolved back in 2012.  Is there an official process to ask for someone to re-add this package into the Debian packaging system?  I did notice that Lintian complains about one thing though and this patch resolves that:

ax25spyd_0.23-monix.diff

Re-adding this tool would be great as both Linpac and LinKT support it to improve their security stance so they don't have to run as root.

Actually, upon further reading on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630894 this may have been resolved?

It may only need a motivated maintainer.

If you can contact the author to fix this issue, I'm sure it can be re-sponsored. Otherwise it's a non-starter.

Hello Christoph, Debian-Hams,

Does anyone know why ax25spyd was dropped from the packaging system?  The sources are still there:

   https://linkt.de/ax25spyd/ax25spyd-0.23.tar.gz

The old patches still apply:

   https://cloudfront.debian.net/debian-archive/debian/pool/main/a/ax25spyd/

The debian/compat and debian/rules need a little tune up, the debian/init.d file should be deleted, etc. but the
program still compile and seems to run OK.  Can we get it re-added?
