Hi! I would like to upload iftop to "unstable" and let it migrate to testing. The most important change would be added IPv6 support. Overall, I would like to upload with the following changes: debian/patches/07-spelling-and-usage-text.patch | 87 + Fixes some spelling error in the manpage debian/patches/08-segfault-duplicate-options.patch | 55 + Fixes #425488/#598376 a sefault when using the same command line argument twice. debian/patches/09-incomplete-hash-func.patch | 51 Fixes #595169, which is actually only wishlist, but quite nasty. debian/patches/10-lladdr-inclusion-kfreebsd.patch | 37 Fixes #598367, an usage problem on kfreebds-* debian/patches/11-implement-ipv6-support.patch | 1120 +++++++++++++++++++++ Is the missig IPv6 support. All these patches have been reviewsed and accepted by upstream in the meantime. The laste change I seek your approval would be the following: iftop-0.17/debian/rules | 3 debian/NEWS | 11 Here I disabled an quite unexpected feature of iftop: It allows you to open a subshell. As iftop is often used in combination with sudo, sysadmins might be suprised, to give other users full root by granting them access to iftop (granted; only if the don't configure sudo properly); but as it is only a minimal change, I hope you allow that, too. Just for completness, I also changed the following files: debian/watch | 4 iftop-0.17/debian/changelog | 27 iftop-0.17/debian/control | 2 iftop-0.17/debian/patches/series | 5 I've uploaded the complete debdiff between 0.17-6 (currently in Squeeze) and the proposed 0.17-8 upload at http://people.debian.org/~tolimar/tmp/iftop-debdiff_0.17-6_0.17-8.diff. Thanks for your time, Alexander
