-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 08:52:47 -0400 Source: netcat Binary: netcat Architecture: source i386 Version: 1.10-22 Distribution: unstable Urgency: low Maintainer: Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Changed-By: Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Description: netcat - TCP/IP swiss army knife Closes: 145801 Changes: netcat (1.10-22) unstable; urgency=low . * Broke apart all the various patches that have accumulated over the years, and put them in a crappy, ad-hoc DBS-like system. This is nowhere near perfect, but I'd rather wait for the new dpkg-source than muck around with my 4.5-year-old .orig.tar.gz just so I can repack things in such a way that DBS is usable. In the long run, separating the patches should make maintenance much easier, although technically getting that to work (without simply using DBS) may take a few tries. I'm not going to attempt to get this into Woody or anything. * Applied patch to prevent possible buffer overflow (Closes: #145801) * Updated URL and email in debian/netcat.copyright (Hobbit has been at @Stake for a while; I sent him a ping email with the split-up patches.) * The nc binary is now installed into /bin (thanks to Robot101, doogie, and dsp for bringing this up on IRC.) As far as I can tell, there aren't really any general-purpose networking tools available on a Debian system without /usr mounted, and this should hopefully fix that. If anyone disagrees I'd be happy to listen to whatever objections they have. Perhaps netcat's priority should be raised to standard in light of this, but I'll wait and see.
