Dear all, only recently did I understand the full implication of dropping our use of the Gnulib module "readline", and I now find myself to disagree with that action, undertaken this past November.
What I would like to see is an FTP client that compiles against "libreadline/libedit", should either be available, and otherwise the client should fall back to the rudimental editing capabilities provided by said Gnulib module. What circumstances are speaking against this remedy? The benefit would be a an FTP client that at all times is capable enough to use in scripts, although users might miss the history support, should they have been unattentative at build time. In the present situation, the failure to build the FTP client will lead to a system dependent failure when generating the manpages using "help2man". I believe to recall at least two machines aborting the first build step due to this mistake.
