Bug#286010: O: distributed-net-pproxy -- Personal proxy for distributed.net clients
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
distributed-net and distributed-net-pproxy were orphaned in #185016 but
only the former was adopted so the latter is still orphaned.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for
detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: Personal proxy for distributed.net clients
With this proxy, you can serve v2 distributed.net RC5-64 & DES
clients. It allows you to establish one of your own machines as a
buffer between your clients and one of the keyservers that are
officially run by the distributed.net organizers. This will allow
your clients to waste less time trying to connect to one of the
main proxies, since the personal proxy will already have more key
blocks waiting for your clients when they're ready.
.
Running a personal proxy is definitely not needed by everyone, nor
is it recommended. You should only run a personal proxy if you are
very confident of your abilities, and you have a firewalled,
unreliable, or intermittent connection to the Internet to directly
contact one of the servers.
