Subject: [gentoo-dev] Should there be an app-alternatives/netcat?
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2024 06:58:08 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240116065808.6abec7c3@Akita> (raw)
Hi,
Looking in the ::gentoo repo I noticed there are 3 different /usr/bin/nc
options available, net-analyzer/netcat, net-analyzer/openbsd-netcat and
net-analyzer/nmap[symlink].
And packages that depend on net-analyzer/netcat must also explicitly
list all of the available options where net-analyzer/munin,
net-analyzer/netdata and xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin all missed
net-analyzer/nmap[symlink] while app-forensics/air only lists
net-analyzer/netcat.
Additionally there could be even more options available in overlays,
for example libressl provides an optional TLS-enabled nc(1) binary.
