Bug#884919: O: quagga -- network routing daemons (metapackage)



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the quagga package, as I no longer have the interest
or time required to keep the package in good shape.

Note that quagga has recently been forked upstream [0].

The package description is:
 GNU Quagga is free software which manages TCP/IP based routing protocols.
 It supports BGP4, BGP4+, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS, RIPv1, RIPv2, and RIPng as
 well as the IPv6 versions of these.
 .
 As the predecessor Zebra has been considered orphaned, the Quagga project
 has been formed by members of the zebra mailing list and the former
 zebra-pj project to continue developing.
 .
 Quagga uses threading if the kernel supports it, but can also run on
 kernels that do not support threading. Each protocol has its own daemon.
 .
 It is more than a routed replacement, it can be used as a Route Server and
 a Route Reflector.
 .
 This metapackage depends on the full suite of Quagga routing daemons.
