This is my revised plan, where update-inetd will be moved to its own package to be depended on by the inetds which want it (the others will need to provide their own version of the command). Please comment now, because I want to upload the package ASAP. **** sarge **** netbase Depends: openbsd-inetd, tcpd, lots of other stuff openbsd-inetd Depends: netbase random-daemon Depends: netbase /usr/sbin/update-inetd is moved from netbase to update-inetd. Daemons can continue depending on netbase or switch to depend on inet-superserver, no distribution-wide changes are needed. Regressions should not be a concern since I maintain the three packages involved. **** etch **** netbase Depends: inet-superserver, lots of other stuff update-inetd Conflicts: netbase (<< etch) Replaces: netbase [needed?] random-inetd Depends: update-inetd [if needed], tcpd [if needed] Conflicts: netbase (<< etch) Provides: inet-superserver random-daemon Depends: netbase [deprecated, but will work too. Or else:] Depends: inet-superserver [better] After every package that needs an inetd will have switched to depending on inet-superserver it will be possible to remove the dependency from netbase. netbase should have important priority because it will be tiny and it is needed by every program which uses getservbyname(3) or getprotobyname(3). **** etch+1 **** netbase Depends: [nothing!] [...] random-daemon Depends: inet-superserver -- ciao, Marco
