Hello Christoph, Paul,

I know the Bullseye freeze is quickly coming up but would it be possible to pull in this ax25spyd package?  I can confirm the previous debian packaged version (link below) builds, packages, and runs fine on Ubuntu 20.04.  I'm using it with the new Linpac release and the benefit here is that users don't have to run linpac as root or play SUID root tricks with axlisten to get everything working.

Actually, upon further reading on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630894 this may have been resolved?

It may only need a motivated maintainer.

If you can contact the author to fix this issue, I'm sure it can be re-sponsored. Otherwise it's a non-starter.

Hello Christoph, Debian-Hams,

Does anyone know why ax25spyd was dropped from the packaging system?  The sources are still there:

   https://linkt.de/ax25spyd/ax25spyd-0.23.tar.gz

The old patches still apply:

   https://cloudfront.debian.net/debian-archive/debian/pool/main/a/ax25spyd/

The debian/compat and debian/rules need a little tune up, the debian/init.d file should be deleted, etc. but the program still compile and seems to run OK.  Can we get it re-added?
