  Description     : force-bind is a shared object that is loaded with LD_PRELOAD and hooks 'bind' function

It could force binding on a specific IP and/or port. Supports both IPv4
and IPv6.
It is useful if you have a binary application without sources and without
the possibility to configure address or port to bind to.
Also allows to modify conection settings by individual applications.
It allows you to force keepalive, mss, tos, bandwidth per program or
socket, reuseaddr, nodelay, fwmark, priority with tc, deny bind to
IPv4, fake binding to IPv6, and more.


i plan to maintain this package on collab-maint, open to anybody to
contribute. i will need somebody to sponsor it.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging force-bind. 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 force-bind 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 force-bind, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <748952@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,
