Much appreciated. Not much to report on dircproxy, upstream is mostly inactive
most of the time, occasionally posts an updated beta (like, once every year
and a half). I know there's one patch in the fedora build to fix a crash on
receiving a zero-length message that I don't believe has made its way back
upstream (my fault, forgot about it 'til now).
Five down, three to go... C'mon people, you know you want emerald and
emerald-themes... connect-proxy is dead-simple, but dunno how many people
actually have use for it (I did 3 years ago, notsomuch anymore...).
Just for the record (after reading
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/connect-proxy/devel/connect-pro...
) shouldn't %source be
http://www.meadowy.org/~gotoh/ssh/connect.c
rather than the filename that is used now ?
