Hi!

I intend to orphan the pmacct package.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to maintain it properly anymore.
There are various new daemons and features that should be enabled and
properly supported, otherwise the package is hopefully in a still
working shape.

The package description is:
 pmacct is a tool designed to gather traffic information (bytes and number
 of packets) by listening on a promiscuous interface or for Netflow data,
 which may facilitate billing, bandwidth management, traffic analysis, or
 creating usage graphs.
 .
 Data can be stored in memory and queried, displayed directly, or written
 to a database; storage methods are quite flexible and may aggregate totals
 or keep them separate.


Thanks,

Bernd

I'd be happy to help with this package.  My employer, the Wikimedia
Foundation, depends on pmacct and is happy to support Debian and free
software in general.

I'm not sure if I can immediately sign up as maintainer -- I'm an
ex-DD, and while I've re-applied for project membership, for now I
would need someone to sponsor my uploads.  I'm interested in
doing the work, though.

I've also noticed that an Andy Davidson has forked the package on
Salsa and already started making improvements:

I'll try to get in touch with them.
