Bug#946820: ITP: rtsp-server -- Lightweight RTSP/RTP streaming media server

[Adam Cecile <acecile@le-vert.net>]

Hi Jonas,


I changed the package name but is it okay to include a system service 
into a package name libsomething ?

I also sent a request to join the Perl team.

Regarding the releases, yes it's indeed old but it worked perfectly for 
my needs, providing one port for sender and a second one for receiver 
and did the job perfectly out of the box so...

Moreover you can find other people (e.g: nodejs) who implemented an RTSP 
server based on this Perl implementation so I guess it's pretty solid.


Regards, Adam.
