Re: Bug#474602: ITP: nikto -- web server security scanner

["Deepak Tripathi" <apenguinlinux@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi , 
I had adopted nikto earlier ,but its takes libwhisker-perl which is not well written and not in available in CPAN.
I don't think that libwhicker-perl has to be in debian .But if you find sponsor go ahead with that.


Thanks

I first packaged nikto as an ITA but since packages.qa.debian.org seemed
to think that having an ITA for a removed package was an error and since
my ITA  was turned  back into a  removal request,  I have opened  an ITP
instead.

The package  is ready and is an  update of 1.35-2 which  was in unstable
before removal.  It is  available on mentors.debian.net  if you  want to
look at it:

Thanks for your feedback.
