Bug#418097: O: zeroconf -- IPv4 link-local address allocator
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of zeroconf, Anand Kumria <wildfire@progsoc.org>,
is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you are *sure* you will have enough time and attention to
work on it.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: IPv4 link-local address allocator
zeroconf is an implementation of IPv4 link-local addresses (RFC3927)
which can be used for ad-hoc networks. Addresses are allocated from
the 169.254.0.0/16 range semi-randomly.
.
That means making it possible to take two laptop computers, and
connect them with a crossover Ethernet cable, and have them
communicate usefully using IP, without needing a man in a white lab
coat to set it all up for you. (from www.zeroconf.org)
