RFS: mactelnet
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "mactelnet".
* Package name : mactelnet
Version : 0.3.1-1
Upstream Author : Håkon Nessjøen <haakon.nessjoen@gmail.com>
* URL : https://github.com/haakonnessjoen/MAC-Telnet
* License : GPL-2 (Except md5 routines, covered by zlib license)
Section : net
It builds these binary packages:
mactelnet-client - Console tools for telneting and pinging via MAC addresses
mactelnet-server - Telnet daemon for accepting connections via MAC addresses
The upload would fix these bugs: 615823
My motivation for maintaining this package is:
As the author of the software, I am specially motivated to maintain
this package, and fix bugs immediately.
Also I am motivated to start working with maintaining more packets for
Debian, for some day to become a DD.
Some more info about the package:
This tool can communicate over the local area network using UDP packets
with a MAC-address as destination. You can telnet Linux machines that
have installed mactelnet-server, or a Mikrotik RouterOS device.
It uses Mikrotik's own proprietary protocol, connecting via UDP
packets at port 20561.
Included in mactelnet-client are also MNDP discovery application, and
macping to ping via the mactelnet protocol.
In the mactelnet-server package, there is a mactelnet daemon, to allow other
mactelnet-client users, or RouterOS owners to telnet your machine via
the MAC address
or the machine's hostname via the MNDP protocol (Mikrotik network
discovery protocol), a simplified
version of Cisco's CDP, using UDP packets.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mactelnet
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mactelnet/mactelnet_0.3.1-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Håkon Nessjøen
