xftp: in main but no source??
I noticed xftp on the WNPP as being orphaned, and it is a program that I have used and sort of like (but always thought it could use some work) xftp, so I thought I would grab the source. xftp is in main in both hamm and slink, but the source code is nowhere to be found! I looked in hamm, I looked in slink, I looked in bo, no source! I even tooka quick look in non-free and contrib (which would be weird since the binary is in main) Is this a bug against the package? I would like to take a look at the source (see what it is writen in...see if it is over my head completly). Also would like to fix some issues I have with it... any ideas on it? what happend to the source? -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of. -- Clarance Darrow pgplNn8CH6zF6.pgp Description: PGP signature

Wrong. # dpkg --print-avail xftp | grep -i source Source: moxftp Which is available in the 'net' section.

Wrong. # dpkg --print-avail xftp | grep -i source Source: moxftp ahh...I never knew a package could have 1 name for its source and another for its package name. I knew the Real Name of it was moxftp but I figured that the name would be the same for the source...oh well... silly me thanx for the info (and the cool dpkg command...never tried that one) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
