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.

inetutils 1.6 is in testing now. Please signoff.

telnet on i686 was fail for me. The escape sequence didn't seem to work at all. Sorry, I actually meant x86_64 here. This was the scene on i686:

Thanks for reporting it, you allow me to be slightly lazier! :) I'm not too worried about the symlinks as they can clearly be blown away. But if all of us had them, it would at least be worth a news item. -Dan

I already got an answer from the upstream dev along with a patch. Please test inetutils-1.6-2.

Bump. Any signoffs? Does anyone else got these file conflicts?

After installing it twice, it returned the telnet binary back to me. The package itself is fine, but pacman still deletes files when one package replaces files from another. Works fine on both architectures.

I didn't get as much signoffs as I wanted (Dan signoffed on Jabber) but it's somewhat understandable as this is low-usage tools these days. I presume you checked at least several clients/servers. Anyhow, I got the required signoff but I'll wait until Sunday before moving it to core and removing the packages it replaces. This will give the rest of the week to test and report problems. BTW, as we'll be replacing server packages, is this worthy of a front page news?

Yeah. All things considered, it's a hefty move, so lets just make the public fully aware of it.

I believe it was decided that we will remove netkit-tftp from the repo. Do we need to add provides/replaces field in tftp-hpa? The only reason not to do that would be if users still want to use netkit-tftp.

Announcement draft (assumes that provides/replaces field will be added to tftp-hpa): ============= To replace several orphaned netkit packages that were unmaintained upstream, we just added inetutils-1.6-2 in the [core] repo. 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 be replacing 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 but we could provide them in a separate package if there is sufficient demand for it. Please update your setting/configs accordingly. =============

FYI: I've just moved inetutils to core. I've also removed: core/netkit-telnet extra/netkit-ftp extra/netkit-rsh extra/netkit-tftp I haven't touched to tftp-hpa.
