Description-en: installer package for the publicfile http and ftp server
Publicfile is a http and ftp server, written by Daniel J. Bernstein in
1999; it didn't change a lot after that. Modern features are not
supported. However, if you're looking for a small, simple and secure
webserver, which integrates with the runit and daemontools UNIX service
managers, publicfile will suit your needs.
.
This installer package downloads the publicfile .tar.gz file from
the upstream website, combines it with Debian packaging information
from the package maintainer's website; then builds a publicfile Debian
package, and installs that. When installing this installer package,
one is given the option to postpone downloading and installing
publicfile.
