Hi all,
As previously discussed (http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-December/009353.html) I've just added inetutils-1.5-1in testing to implement FS#12281. This new package will provide the following network clients/daemons: ftp/ftpd rexec/rexecd rlogin/rlogind rsh/rshd talk/talkd telnet/telnetd rcp.
It will replace the following packages: core/netkit-telnet extra/netkit-ftp extra/netkit-rsh On a related note, netkit-tftp will be remove from the repo in favor of tftp-hpa. The inetutils tools can also profide a tftp client/server. It's currently not included in the inetutils package. We could provide them in a separate package if there is sufficient demand.
As inetutils will go to core as it will replace a core package, it will require the usual 2 signoffs. Signoff from users will be appreciated as well as these network tools have a low usage these days. Please indicate what specific client/daemon you tested. Because it's a totally new package, I'll keep it in testing for at least a week to give more time to test.
Eric
Wait before signing off. inetutils 1.6 is out.

telnet on i686 was fail for me. The escape sequence didn't seem to work at all. -Dan
