Hi,
this is the next patch series for libvirt. The changes in this series concern Nmap, Netcat and Ncat and I want to explain a little bit  what I did and why I did these changes in this way.
1.  The nc symlink set the standard netcat. At the moment this is gnu-netcat but this conflicts with libvirt. So we build gnu-netcat without the nc symlink. 
We could simply drop this package completely and replace it with Ncat but I do not like this because both implementations are not! 100 % compatible. 
If we drop the (gnu-)netcat package this could cause much trouble for example if users wrote her own script which requires gnu-netcat.  I keep the name netcat, but maybe we should change this to gnu-netcat, I do not know and want to hear what your opinion on this :-).
2. Build Nmap without Ncat , because we want to build ncat in a separate package. This is important because the Nmap package is big and if a user only needs ncat, it is senseless to install the whole Nmap package. 
3. The new package Ncat is the new standard netcat. The only thing  what I want to say is that I had to rename the source package (nmap-7.12) to ncat-7.12. The log files are named like the source packages, I f we used nmap-7.12 for Nmap and ncat and both are built from this package the log file conflict with the log file of the other package. 

This should be everything, if something is not clear or not ok just wrote back.
