[experimental] proftpd 1.2.9rc2 -- IPv6 and other features



Hi Debian folks

An high experimental package of  incoming Proftpd 1.2.9rc2 has been just
uploaded to  experimental as 1.2.8+cvs20030818-1. Some  changes need yet
to be merged from current unstable 1.2.8-9, anyway they are really minor
changes, and it will be done with next releases.

The new packages are also available soon by

deb http://people.debian.org/~frankie/debian/sid/experimental/proftpd-ipv6/ ./
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~frankie/debian/sid/experimental/proftpd-ipv6/ ./

I'll not  include these  packages in  sid until  proftpd folks  will not
release a stable version of 1.2.9 (RC2 is really not yet out). Backports
to 1.2.8 are eventually possible.

This is the  first release with upstream support for  IPv6 (which missed
in  1.2.8 and  was  unofficial/buggy in  previous  debian releases)  and
correct a lots of bugs. See

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/proftp/proftpd/NEWS?rev=1.467

for a long list of issues solved.

Please read also:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/proftp/proftpd/README.IPv6?rev=1.2

for IPv6 known problems, limitations and issues.




So, here we go: test it and report problems on BTS with experimental tagging.
