Bug#719794: RFA: update-inetd -- inetd configuration file updater
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the update-inetd package.
The package description is:
This package provides a program used by other packages to
automatically update /etc/inetd.conf, the configuration file shared
by all implementations of the Internet super-server.
.
Note that xinetd is not supported by this package.
update-inetd is a native package, implemented in perl, and with system tests
in python.
update-inetd has serious design flaws and is meant to be replaced by another
tool, as described in DEP9 (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep9/)
The adopter should look at DEP9, and consider also adopting reconf-inetd
(also RFA'd, see #719792).
