Bug#634262: arpwatch-ng status
Control: retitle -1 arpwatch: base packaging on arpwatch-ng sources
(Cc'ing people who were previously in contact on this ticket)
I'm not sure if anyone else might care about this, but I started looking
into the arpwatch situation. Here is what I've found out:
* The site for arpwatch-ng (<http://freequaos.host.sk/arpwatch>) is
down. I was able to find a snapshot of it from earlier this year
(3/2016) at archive.org:
http://web.archive.org/web/20160321213852/http://freequaos.host.sk/arpwatch/
* From the above link, I was able to download the latest release, 1.7.
* In the README, this is the extent of the contact information:
~~~
If you have suggestions or patches, please use freshmeat.net to locate the
project and then use "contact developer". Only there a recent and working
email address is published.
DO NOT PUBLISH MY EMAIL ADDRESS ANYWHERE - IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Thank you.

* <http://freshmeat.net/projects/arpwatch-ng> redirects to
<http://freecode.com/projects/arpwatch-ng>, and freecode is frozen since
2014[1]. It looks like the only way to contact upstream is to see
whether freecode site support can help.
...or fork the project again.
Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone is interested in pursuing this, but I
thought I should post the research I've just done in case it turns out
to be useful.
