Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : dgap
Version : 1.1
Upstream Author : Digi International
* URL : http://www.digi.com
* License : GPL w/separate non-free firmwares
Description : driver for Digi Acceleport PCI multiport serial cards
This will go into contrib; the sources up on Digi's support site also contain
the firmwares needed by the cards. I'll split the firmware files from the
source package to put them in non-free, where they belong. I'm currently
verifying that we can redistribute the files, as there's no mention of
anything concerning the firmware files in the source package.
The dgap driver obsoletes the epca driver which is included in the vanilla
kernel distribution. It supports only the PCI cards, and works on Linux
2.4 and 2.6.
The source package will produce 2 binary packages in contrib:
Package: dgap-tools
Description: support utilities for the Digi Acceleport multiport serial cards
This package contains support utilities related to the dgap driver for Digi
Acceleport multiport serial cards:
.
o mpi - driver management utility
o dinc - a cu/tip replacement
o ditty - an stty replacement
o dpa - a port monitoring/testing utility
Package: dgap-source
Description: Digi Acceleport multiport serial cards driver
This package contains the sources of the dgap driver for Digi Acceleport
multiport serial cards.
.
This driver supports only the following PCI Acceleport cards, on both Linux
v2.4 and Linux v2.6 :
.
o Acceleport Xem
o Acceleport Xr
o Acceleport Xr 920
o Acceleport C/X
o Acceleport EPC/X
o Acceleport Xr/422
o Acceleport 2r/920
o Acceleport 4r/920
o Acceleport 8r/920
o IBM 8-Port Asynchronous PCI Adapter
o IBM 128-Port Asynchronous PCI Adapter
And an additional package in non-free:
Package: dgap-data
Description: firmware files for the Digi Acceleport multiport serial cards
This package contains the firmware files needed by the dgap driver for
Digi Acceleport multiport serial cards.

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 290753
stop
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
290753@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
