There's a PKGBUILD for ladvd and lldpd in AUR currently, these are important networking tools in data center environments. Can someone please promote at least one of them to [community] or ideally [extra]? They're not high on votes, but I think this should be an exception since not many people are using Arch in data center environments anyhow that would need them and would thus vote on them. They both implement LLDP daemons.
I agree. I will move them.
Cheers,
lldpd is now in community.
Looking deeper in lldp servers/agents capabilities, I came to the conclusion that including ladvd seems unnecessary.
With this in mind: http://www.kempgen.net/voip/lldp-agents.html
ladvd has no release since Feb 2012 and less features than lldpd.
That's fair, thank you for packaging lldpd! I noticed RedHat no longer seems to package ladvd, and has switched to lldpad. Maybe we should package lldpad (aka Open-LLDP) from http://www.open-lldp.org/ ? Thoughts?
