Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "fex".
* Package name : fex
Version : 20081006-1
Upstream Author : Ulli Horlacher <framstag@rus.uni-stuttgart.de>
* URL : http://fex.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/
* License : GPL
Section : web
It builds these binary packages:
fex - web based service to send very big files
fex-utils - web based service to send very big files (utils)
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 495973
F*EX (Frams' Fast File EXchange) is a service to send big (large, huge, giant,
...) files from a user A to a user B, anywhere on the internet.
The sender uploads the file to the F*EX-server and the recipient automatically
gets a notification e-mail with a download-URL.
Main features of F*EX
* file transfer of virtually unlimited file size
* recepient and sender only need an e-mail program and a web browser - of any
kind, they do not have to install any software
* RESEND and REGET for resuming after link failures at last sent byte
* auto-notification of recipient
* auto-deletion after download
* auto-deletion after expiration date (default: 5 days)
* full-users can create sub-users, who can send only to this full-user
* maintenance-free: no admin interaction necessary besides creating new F*EX
accounts
* Sending to multiple recipients needs storage on the server only once
* F*EX is a HTTP web-service and needs no firewall-tunnels
* support for streams, too (SEX : Stream EXchange)
* for real UNIX users, there are the shell programs fexsend and fexget to
avoid annoying web browser usage
* protocol and source-code free available (GPL)
The end user normally uses F*EX with his web browser and the URLs
http://YOURFEXSERVER/fup (file upload) and http://YOURFEXSERVER/fop (file
download).
F*EX is not an anonymous service, the admin must register the user with
his e-mail address and auth-ID string. This task must be done with the CLI
program "fac" (F*EX admin control). You can imagine the auth-ID as some kind
of low security password.
Alternatively the users can register theirselves with http://YOURFEXSERVER/fur
(F*EX user registration), if the admin allows them to do so. This is done by
setting the variable @local_hosts in /etc/fex/fex.ph, for example:
@local_hosts = qw(127.0.0.1 10.10.100.0-10.10.255.255);
F*EX full users can theirselves register "sub-users" with
http://YOURFEXSERVER/fuc
sub-users can only fex to their full-user, not to any others.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fex
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fex/fex_20081006-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Giuseppe Iuculano
