Noip-updater
Noip-updater is a utility for updating the no-ip.com dynamic DNS database. This allows machines to have a static hostname even though their IP address changes.
No-ip has made a Linux version of the utility available at www.no-ip.com/downloads.php which I have debianised. My version is different from the original in the following respects:
It is packaged for Debian GNU/Linux.
It has been tidied up to ensure conformance to the Debian Policy and Filesystem Hierachy Standard.
It uses DebConf for configuration. Hence, the configuration will be performed with the DebConf front-end of your choice.
Note: The debconf templates and surrounding logic is not complete; it should be adequate for dial-up users who do not use the "group" facility. If you want to run noip-updater as a daemon or use the group facility, you will need to modify the configuration file by hand.
Please note that this is not an official Debian package. By now there may already be an official noip-updater debian package available. For up-to-date information, see bug #156594.
Unfortunately, I could not wait; I needed to use it. So I packaged it myself. Hopefully this will be useful to others too.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with by No-ip.com. I simply used their free Dynamic DNS service for a while and thus used this sofware. No-ip.com is under no obligation to support this software.

Download
Under Debian
GNU/Linux all you have to do is to add these lines to
/etc/apt/sources.list (preferably near the end of the file):
deb http://www.karl.jorgensen.com/debian stable main contrib deb-src http://www.karl.jorgensen.com/debian stable main contrib
and run:
# apt-get update
followed by:
# apt-get install package-name
Apt will take care of the download, dependencies etc.
If you prefer to download the files by hand (if you're not using Debian and apt, then you'll have to), then you can find them here. And you will have to resolve any dependencies and conflicts by hand too.

Bugs
If you (God Forbid!) find bugs in this software, then I would very much like to know about it:
Find out whether it is my fault or not. Basically if this package is broken, and the original is not, then I am to blame.
Read www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html first. The author has stated things better than I could have hoped to.
- Email me a bug report.
