Bug#493645: nostromo vs boa?

["Kai Hendry" <hendry@iki.fi>]

First I somehow missed boa. :)

A friend asked me to package nostromo, so I just did it and announced
the ITP just in case someone was interested. I might not upload it to
Debian.

Anyway, boa has two problems after a quick look at the source. It's 7k
SLOC is twice that of nostromo. Also it has not been maintained by
upstream for 3+ years. http://www.boa.org/news.html

Boa's code looks quite good. Boa being alike nostromo in being select
driven as opposed to fork. Select driven is especially important for
devices with low resources as forks are expensive.

I might give boa a try nonetheless for a better comparison.

Kind regards,
