Bug#805266: RFA: libnss-gw-name -- nss module that names the current gateway’s IP address
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I request an adopter for the libnss-gw-name package.
The package description is:
This Name Service Switch (NSS) module resolves the name “gateway.localhost” to
the IP of the current default gateways of the system. This allows easy access
to router configuration and to check if connectivity problems are local or
not.
It seems that this functionality is now also provided by
systemd-resolved and libnss-resolve (copycats!). As I plan to fully jump
on the systemd bandwagon, I don’t have a need for this single-purpose
package any more.
Nevertheless it works (I have been using it until now), and maybe
someone else would like to have this funtionaly independent of systemd.
In that case, please let me know.
Otherwise I will stop using it, and will remove it from Debian as soon
as there is a problem with it that I cannot fix very easily.
Greetings,
Joachim
