+Title: New home and release 1.0 for netgroup and innetgr (aka ng-utils)
+Tags: english, debian
+Date: 2014-02-22 21:40
+
+<p>Many years ago, I wrote a GPL licensed version of the netgroup and
+innetgr tools, because I needed them in
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux.  I called the project
+ng-utils, and it has served me well.  I placed the project under the
+<a href="http://www.hungry.com/">Hungry Programmer</a> umbrella, and it was maintained in our CVS
+repository.  But many years ago, the CVS repository was dropped (lost,
+not migrated to new hardware, not sure), and the project have lacked a
+proper home since then.</p>
+
+<p>Last summer, I had a look at the package and made a new release
+fixing a irritating crash bug, but was unable to store the changes in
+a proper source control system.  I applied for a project on
+<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/">Alioth</a>, but did not have time
+to follow up.  Until today. :)</p>
+
+<p>After many hours of cleaning and migration, the ng-utils project
+now have a new home, and a git repository with the highlight of the
+history of the project.  I published all release tarballs and imported
+them into the git repository.  As the project is really stable and not
+expected to gain new features any time soon, I decided to make a new
+release and call it 1.0.  Visit
+<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/">https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/</a>
+if you want to check it out.  The new version is also uploaded into
+Debian Unstable.</p>
