Hello,
I've pushed an update today that removes the dependency on BerkeleyDB (unless --with-berkelydb is specified).
Dug (the original author) is happy to move the official URL to the GH repo.
Build instructions:
./configure
make dsniff
I can maintain this 'upstream' but hope that somebody else can package it for Debian (Sven? Carlos?).
regards,
skyper
Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
If no one else is currently working on it, I’d be glad to take over maintenance.
