In early August, Marco d'Itri posted to debian-devel about the possibility of getting iputils-ping made the default in Debian (along with the OpenBSD inetd). No real conclusions were ever reached, but nobody gave a good reason why this shouldn't happen. I maintain iputils-* and would like to see this happen so we can get ping6 in the base system and improve our standard IPv6 support. How should iputils-ping be moved up to priority: important? netkit-ping would need to be moved to priority: extra (unless it can and should be removed) and ftpmaster would need to update the overrides file. Anything else? I'd like to make an upload of iputils soon to address some bugs, and can set the new priority then if it's OK... Or I can wait if there are issues to resolve. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
