developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
this is a major rewrite
changes:
-much more flexible debug logging
-support for non blocking sockets
-addition of the tsocks shell script
-TSOCKS_CONF_FILE environment variable
-pkg changes:
-libtoolized
-changed redefinition of the crt0 _init into a __constructor__ attribute,
to avoid link errors
with jmmv's blessing
tsocks allows non SOCKS aware applications (e.g telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use
SOCKS without any modification. It does this by intercepting the calls that
applications make to establish network connections and negotating them through
a SOCKS server as necessary.
tsocks is based on the 'shared library interceptor' concept. Through use of
the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, tsocks is automatically loaded into the
process space of every executed program.
