I only answered a question posed, this has nothing to do with our options,
or with the Murmansk project, and are only my personal opinions on
programming languages. Care2x seems to be useful to us.

(http://ping.chip.org/).

We have a person looking at this. Unfortunately we have to prioritize
making simple packages we can use ourselves before making an effort to
package it properly for Debian. We will however try the best we can to
share our experiences, and I will report as we proceed.

Thank you for the README's, I have sent them to our developer.
