There's some old-ish SVN repository for libnet (I migrated it to git recently, so the history there is not that old -- if you meant to use SVN, that is) http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/collab-maint/deb-maint/libnet But please note that the SVN repo is quite "broken" [0] -- you may want to remove it and start it all over again (maybe re-importing it from git?) [0] i.e. I wasn't very comfortable with SVN branches, so I just did all the changes in trunk/, and there's a beta version packaged there, which I completely dropped from the Git repo. Also, Sam Roberts seems to have merged bits from there into 1.1.3 (which he's working on), so I'd warmly suggest not to use the existing SVN repo at all. Ciao, David -- . ''`.
