libdumbnet for Debian
---------------------

This library was originally distributed as libdnet.  However, Debian
already been distributing a libdnet since the 1980s --- the DECnet
library.

So, since this library describes itself as a "dumb networking library"
the obvious thing to do is to rename it as such.  If you are using source
code that #includes <dnet.h>, you will want to change this to <dumbnet.h>
As well, you may need to make revisions to Makefiles or Autoconf scripts.

Please note that the library has changed its hosting location from Sourceforge
to GoogleCode. The upstream README file does not reflect that yet. The website
is

http://code.google.com/p/libdnet/
