>Description:
wminet depends on kvm to read network statistics. This makes it a requirement to recompile it every now and then to keep up with the kernel changes. This patch uses getifaddrs instead, removing the need for setgid kmem. Changes homepage also. Unfortunately, the ftp server seems to be down and no other source is available.
