I have the feeling that this could be a timeconsuming procedure with some up and downs and I would want to get this thing done somehow. So prior to search for a - in the meantime no longer existent? - original maintainer, I'd prefer to use the upstream package like in acient days (IPCop) and apply a patch. I don't change anything in the original working code, I just do some 'polishing'. IPCop did it that way with some 'sed'-lines. There is only one file to patch, everything else are added scripts from us for integration in IPFire (controlling, polishing and localisation) and for Pakfire. As a result we would have ONE file to download and a few files to maintain which could be easily done through GIT. What do you think? Best, Matthias --===============0999124009823455117==--
