Bug#901879: O: wvdial -- intelligent Point-to-Point Protocol dialer
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the wvdial package. The package has been removed from
testing because wvstreams is RC-buggy due to the its dependency on
libssl1.0.2. The whole story is in #901361 [0].
The persons that intends to adopt wvdial should also look after
wvstreams. wvdial is the only reverse dependency of wvdial.
I will request the removal of wvdial (including wvstreams) in one month
time if nobody adopts it.
The package description is:
WvDial sacrifices some of the flexibility of programs like "chat" in order
to make dialup configuration easier. With WvDial,
modems are detected automatically and only three additional parameters
are required: the telephone number, username, and password. WvDial knows
enough to dial with most modems and log in to most servers without any
other help.
