Comment:
Geoff pointed me at `httpd` from the `save-logs` udeb, whose source is in
the `installation-report` package. I propose we copy that and implement
our athinfod in shell. Building a udeb, in addition to being yet another
thing we need to do, requires that anna be functional. We actually do a
bunch of things long before anna is functional. wget, however, is
functional that early in the install. Here's my proposed script. Note
that nc is traditional netcat, not openbsd netcat.
{{{
#!/bin/sh
#
# The idea of using netcat as a lightweight inetd was inspired by the
# "httpd" script in the "save-logs" in the "installation-report"
# package, which is licensed under GPLv2 (as of
# installation-report-2.44ubuntu1, which was current when this was
# written). This script is, therefore, licensed under GPLv2. The
# license of athinfod itself is unaffected by this.
