Package: stunnel4 Version: 3:5.56+dfsg-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu groovy ubuntu-patch
Hi Peter, In bug #963260, you switched stunnel4 to build-depend on ncat, the nmap implementation of netcat. This is only used for testing, and I see no indication that the tests for stunnel4 give better coverage when using ncat instead of netcat. And on the other hand, this increases bootstrapping complexity by introducing a build-dependency on nmap, vs the quite simple - and sufficient - netcat-traditional implementation. (FWIW, in Ubuntu we have switched to netcat-openbsd by default instead of netcat-traditional, and I think the same argument applies.) For Ubuntu in particular, we have a 'netcat' package in the reduced set of packages built for i386, but not nmap/ncat. I've uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu, to allow stunnel4 to continue to be buildable on all architectures in Ubuntu. I'm happy to discuss what the best way forward might be that works for both Debian and Ubuntu. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
