    Description: Very small, yet very fast HTTP server

Mathopd is a very small, yet very fast HTTP server for UN*X systems.

Mathopd supports useful features of HTTP/1.1, such as persistent connections,
partial responses and pipelining. It does not support things like content
negotation. The latest version of the software (1.5) also supports CGI/1.1.

Mathopd was designed specifically to run as a single process, and to never grow
in size. When this software was first written (early 1996) this is something
that other HTTP servers were not very good at.

Mathopd was removed from debian, because it wasn't maintained
and I would really like it back in debian.

I'm prepared to maintain it.
Package is on https://mentors.debian.net/package/mathopd.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging mathopd. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of mathopd from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging mathopd, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 742721 ITP: mathopd -- Very small, yet very fast HTTP server
 owner 742721 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <742721@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
