Re: [arch-general] Why is there no tftp client in inetutils?

Hi,

as I need a tftp client in order to reflash my WRT54GL I realised that Arch Linux hasn't got one in the main repositories. Normally "tftp" is part of Inetutils (http://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/). Looking at the PKGBUILD of "inetutils" confuses me, as it explicitly disables tftp.

I know that I can easily rebuild the package, but I'm wondering why it is disabled by default? At least you should provide a seperate tftp package, as there are certainly people who need a tftp client, for instance me ;).

$ pacman -Ss tftp extra/tftp-hpa 5.0-3 Official tftp server $ pacman -Qo `which tftp` /usr/bin/tftp is owned by tftp-hpa 5.0-3 so is in the main repository. -- Ionut
