Even if it is dead, people can pick it up. Low LOC counts is encouraging. Edit: it is really a good thing.
Maybe someone volunteer to continue the project on a fork? I'm actually interested to build it for openwrt. I would be interested to get the all interface and IPv6 features in. Also if I ever manage to get the OpenWRT makefile changed to fetch and build from GIT I was planning to release some of the memory alloced in the config reading phase, as it it taking "lots" of memory (3Mbyte) which is problematic on my low cost OpenWRT router. But I do not have any Linux Server running and as such not actually able to do a minimal build try to verify pull requests. Anyone else having a better setup?
This project has been very much dormant from my perspective (obviously, heh). I really enjoyed making this eons ago, but I no longer use it in any professional/hobby settings, which violates my primary creed of always being my own user/customer.
For this reason, I don't think I am best suited to maintain the project, going forward. It clearly has a devoted userbase and deserves continuity, so I would be happy to pass the project to a worthy steward if it means knockd can continue to live on.
Until someone suitable steps forward, I will do my best to merge PRs and make releases (I'll do a 0.8 soon).
last update december 26, 2015 is this going to die? this is a PRETTY useful project that works for important scenario
