David had originally brought up the idea of importing it back in December, but it appears that he hasn't had the time, or other issues have come up. However, I would like to bring up the discussion again as I think it's a needed improvement--NetBSD's ftpd is better maintained and has better standards compliance. However, when looking into it I found several issues with code divergence that I would like advice on first (ie. PAM support, some differences in ~ expansion, and of course differences in arguments). So I guess my question is, should: a) our ftpd and NetBSD ftpd be merged as best as possible to keep features of both, but try to follow NetBSD's ftpd development in our tree? b) we import NetBSD's ftpd AS IS and treat it like vender code with regular imports, but break backwards compatibility? c) we not do anything at all and leave our ftpd as it is? (a) of course is the best of both worlds, but it would require more work and might make maintainership harder in the future. Please let me know what people think about this. Thanks, Mike P.S. I would also like to do the same with lukeftp at some point. -- Mike Heffner Fredericksburg, VA --_=XFMail.1.5.0.FreeBSD:20010716212454:67204=_ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7U5PmFokZQs3sv5kRAuchAJ0Tye45n6/Tyu/BoH8SG6ZzF0jWHQCghS1o WRHYlPizKnewwreB+d+WjHs= =bnXk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --_=XFMail.1.5.0.FreeBSD:20010716212454:67204=_-- End of MIME message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
