Sorry to come in late on this discussion. I was originally one of the
people who was interested in the importing of lukemftpd and merging in
some of the FreeBSD'isms, etc.. Unfortunately, due to school and $ work I
haven't had the time necessary that I had hoped to devote to it. However,
as soon as I get a -current box together I plan to continue where I left
off with this.
Yes, as many people have mentioned, Luke is more than willing to merge in
changes from FreeBSD to lukemftpd (take for example the many changes to
lukemftp that he accepted and then released a new version of). Luke is
typically very busy, but I've generally found that if a patch is produced
that is acceptable and doesn't require much time on his part to integrate,
he will merge it into lukemftp[d].
I plan to pick up the PRs that have been opened against it and remove the
ambiguities that lukemftpd is 'the ftpd'. I will also try to merge as many
of the critical aspects from ftpd as possible (eg, the login.conf
support) before 5.0-R. If anyone else has worked on any of these, please
let me know so that we can coordinate.
Thanks,
Mike
