Bug#774672: O: guidedog -- NAT/masquerading/port-forwarding configuration tool in Qt5
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Request: guidedog needs a new maintainer and packager, since guidedog is
no longer part of Debian/Ubuntu probably because it has not been updated
since Qt3. I decided to rewrite guidedog in pure Qt5, dropping the
requirements for Python, CMake and KDE.
I would like to know where to upload the new source code. Can you please
assign a new packager for this tool?
Here goes some additional information on guidedog:
Description: NAT/masquerading/port-forwarding configuration tool for
KDE. Guidedog is a KDE utility which allows to use easily activate and
configure your machine for packet routing, Network Address
Translation/IP Masquerading (NAT) and port-forwarding.
Guidedog was originally developed by Simon Edwards. Guidedog webpage is
in http://www.simonzone.com/software/guidedog/
Simon's email simon@simonzone.com is no longer valid. I tried to reach
any other email for him, but couldn't find one.
The source package in Debian is in
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/guidedog/1.0.0-6/
The original maintainer of the Debian and Ubuntu guidedog package was
Paul Cupis <paul@cupis.co.uk> but passed away two years ago.
