[gentoo-dev] Package up for grabs: net-ftp/atftp

[Tobias Klausmann]

Hi! 

I haven't used atftp in a *long* time and upstream is either dead
or has entered a time capsule on SF.net.

Open bugs:

513486 net-ftp/atftp - increase BKLSIZE
635786 net-ftp/atftp-0.7-r5 : neither HOMEPAGE nor originalSRC_URI available any more

The former is ancient (and I only now realized it was there,
shame on me).

I am considering last-riting it right away, but if someone has
some love and/or use for atftp, feel free to take it.

Regards,
Tobias

I'm still using it every day (our PBX uploads its accounting tickets
to our Gentoo server using TFTP).  If it's gone, which TFTP server
should I use?  The only other server I can find by "emerge -s tftp"
is "net-ftp/tftp-hpa".  Is this the "state-of-the-art" TFTP server?

dnsmasq has a TFTP server though it's obviously not the main feature
and I only use it occasionally.
