Bug#707739: Package description outdated
Package: src:lksctp-tools
Version: 1.0.14+dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
the package description of libsctp1 (1) is partly outdated:
"… now available in the Linux kernel source tree in versions 2.5.36
respectively 2.4.24 and following". Squeeze already has 2.6.32 and
upstream (2) states:
The Linux kernel has built-in support for the SCTP protocol since the
2.6 kernel series.
Furthermore I would like SCTP to be explained in the first paragraph.
For your convenience I attach a reordered and slightly modified control
file. And for the l10n-english convenience the original control file.
Kind regards,
Martin
P.S.: (3) is impressive.

Description: user-space access to Linux Kernel SCTP - shared library
This library is part of the LKSCTP project for the
Linux Kernel SCTP reference implementation.
.
This package is intended to supplement the Linux Kernel
SCTP reference implementation now available in the Linux
kernel source tree in versions 2.5.36 respectively 2.4.24 and following.
.
SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a message oriented,
reliable transport protocol, with congestion control, support for
transparent multi-homing, and multiple ordered streams of messages.
RFC2960 defines the core protocol.
