Bug#516881: nc6 -- TCP/IP swiss army knife with IPv6 support



Hi Guillame,
what are the features strictly relevant to nc6 over other advanced
conections tools (eg. socat), to justify the existence of a separate
package?
If it only add ipv6 support and "an enhanced support for UDP", I would
really say that socat already does this (and much more!).

Given that upstream seems dead and there's a great mess with various
netcat flavors, wouldn't be better to coordinate with other developers
to try porting the v6 patch to the mainstream flavors and drop this
package?

Ciao, Luca
