Heh. I'd actually be super curious how much of a base linux system is still "actively maintained" by that metric. I gave up tilting at windmills trying to get the default whois clients in any of the major distros updated after a few months of trying.
- teddyh 3y agoI know that Debian, as a rule, removes packages which are not maintained “upstream”. Regarding Whois clients specifically, it seems that Debian maintains its own Whois client: <https://github.com/rfc1036/whois https://github.com/rfc1036/whois> This is something which Debian usually does not do, and when it happens, it usually means that there is no updated maintained version available, but the software is too important to remove.
