PROPOSAL: GNOME Nettool for GNOME 2.8

[Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo gnome-db org>]

Hi

We would like to propose GNOME Nettool for inclusion in the GNOME 2.8
desktop release.

GNOME Nettool is an application that provides GUI access to many
networking command line tools, like ping, traceroute, netstat, finger,
whois, ifconfig. It was originally based on the similar tool that is
available in Mac OS X, but has since been greatly improved and is now a
much better tool than the one from Apple.

It is available as the "gnome-nettool" module in CVS, and tarball
releases are available at
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-netinfo (it was called
gnome-netinfo before, and have changed the name since then, but we
haven't made any release with the new name. Will do that this week, once
we settle up some missing things for the new release)

cheers
