My backport of making tcp/udp be v4-only already included the inversion fix as part of the conflict resolution, in fact. I've added the ping -w patch and put an updated proto-NMU here: http://git.debian.org/?p=users/smcv/qa/inetutils.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/squeeze I've done some basic testing, but I don't really know what to look for in this package, so I'm not really comfortable with NMUing this without some review, and to be honest I'd prefer a maintainer upload. (I also don't have a kFreeBSD machine around to test that aspect of it.) While smoke-testing it I did notice http://bugs.debian.org/559744 (the escape character in telnet doesn't work), which seems pretty glaring, and has been open for a year. I'm somewhat surprised anyone uses this variant of telnet with that bug present (it'd certainly drive me mad), particularly with netkit-telnet and telnet-ssl both available on all release architectures too; does the inetutils version have any killer advantages? A lot of the binary packages in inetutils don't seem to have any compelling advantages over their higher-package-priority counterparts, in fact; if some of them don't work very well, might it be worth dropping some binary packages? The only thing in inetutils that seems to be particularly important is the ping implementation, for kFreeBSD's benefit (because iputils is Linux-only). But then at that point the 1.6 Debian release would be the same as the one in unstable except for the indentation changes, the header cleanups, the unconditionalization of free() calls and the argp switch ... none of which really sound like changes to make during a freeze.

If you want, you can prepare a test-case on io.d.n or asdfasdf.d.n, and me (or KiBi or aurel32) can test the stuff which needs root permissions or setuid. Another option I can imagine is to install a preliminary package containing some setuid stuff in e.g. io.d.n's experimental chroot, so that you can run the tests yourself there.

But then at that point the 1.6 Debian release would be the same as the one in unstable except for the indentation changes, the header cleanups, the unconditionalization of free() calls and the argp switch, which I pointed out on my initial freeze exception request. I've hesitated to repeat the work for the 1.6 release as it had already been done for 1.8, hoping the RT would approve the one in unstable to migrate to testing. As I'm assuming this will not be the case, and you've now done already most of the work (except for those two changes I'd recommend including), feel free to handle the NMU targetting t-p-u. ping? Sorry, wanted to handle the mail the other day but it slipped through the cracks. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
