The current maintainer of prettyping, Vifly <viflythink@gmail.com>,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package now.

Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description-en: better ping tool
 prettyping is a simple tool written in Shell to
 show latency between the sending and the destination
 hosts.
 .
 It is a wrapper around the standard ping tool
 with the objective of making the output prettier,
 more colorful, more compact, and easier to read.
 .
 prettyping runs the standard ping in the background
 and parses its output, showing the ping responses
 in a graphical way at the terminal
 (by using colors and Unicode characters).

thanks

I intend to adopt this package. I'm working toward becoming a
Debian Maintainer and would like to have prettyping as one of my
maintained packages. I'll update the Git repository on Salsa and
look for a sponsor once I've made an initial maintenance upload.
