RFS: fex (2nd attempt)



Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "fex".

* Package name    : fex
  Version         : 20081028-1
  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 service for transferring very large files
fex-utils  - web service for transferring very large files (utils)

Description: web service for transferring very large files
 F*EX (Frams's Fast File EXchange) is a service for transferring 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
  * sender and recipient 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 administration necessary beyond creating new
    F*EX accounts
  * multiple recipients only require one stored copy
  * F*EX uses HTTP and needs no firewall tunnels
  * support for streams, too (SEX: Stream EXchange)
  * shell clients provided for commandline users: fexsend and fexget.


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 appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 495973

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_20081028-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Giuseppe Iuculano
