Hi! Upstream is not maintained either -- at least the download URL in netkit-telnet's debian/copyright file does not work. How about dropping netkit-telnet from Debian? GNU InetUtils provides telnet+telnetd and appears to be actively maintained both in Debian and upstream, and could provide the packages going forward. If there is anything missing in InetUtils compared to netkit-telnet(d), I'm happy to assist from the GNU InetUtils upstream side. Cc'ing Debian maintainer of inetutils too, do you have any comments Guillem? /Simon > Some information about this package: > > Package: netkit-telnet > Binary: telnet, telnetd > Version: 0.17-42 > Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org> > Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 10~), libncurses-dev, cmake > Architecture: any > Standards-Version: 3.9.8 > Format: 3.0 (quilt) > Files: > 5f3c09666f11b4e4ea5b0b4bd4c8e668 1792 netkit-telnet_0.17-42.dsc > d6beabaaf53fe6e382c42ce3faa05a36 133749 netkit-telnet_0.17.orig.tar.gz > eb4fbbdc55a3b53f7f2ebdc1f857b0cc 36068 netkit-telnet_0.17-42.debian.tar.xz > Checksums-Sha256: > 9bfc63c4817be1b1664940b1a85b938822c476f75a537edc8ff025baba9e29cf 1792 > netkit-telnet_0.17-42.dsc > 9c80d5c7838361a328fb6b60016d503def9ce53ad3c589f3b08ff71a2bb88e00 > 133749 netkit-telnet_0.17.orig.tar.gz > 1653561178542c85adfba865ec492dd9c4f35bae624f4692c7d55729da679db4 > 36068 netkit-telnet_0.17-42.debian.tar.xz > Package-List: > telnet deb net standard arch=any > telnetd deb net optional arch=any > Directory: pool/main/n/netkit-telnet > Priority: source > Section: net
