All,
I wanted to install ckermit on openSuSE 11.2 RC1. It doesn't seen to exist any-more.
Is there a specific reason to drop this package?
The reason was that I though there were no living users anymore :). If you use it, are you willing to maintain it? I think there aren't many other users, so bugs about functionality should be rare, if any. You might occasionally get a bugreport about coding errors from David Binderman, but that's all.
There are probably not many people that use it (I'm one of them).
Kermit is very useful for connecting to serial consoles for Sun sparc stations, Cisco and other networking devices and other devices with an rs232 management console.
I will try to maintain it.
I also sent an email to Columbia university to find out what the status of version 8.0.212 is.

Kermit, minicom and friends surplanted by the much nicer gtkterm unless you intend to run in VC mode. I've been using gtkterm years before it appeared in the distro and it's always done the business with no hassles. Recently a guy on the beagleboard list reported a problem with minicom on openSUSE, I suggested he tried gtkterm which I use, it worked. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
