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 symlin= k.=20 We could simply drop this package completely and replace it with Ncat but I d= o not like this because both implementations are not! 100 % compatible.=20 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 ne= tcat, but maybe we should change this to gnu-netcat, I do not know and want t= o hear what your opinion on this :-). 2. Build Nmap without Ncat , because we want to build ncat in a separate pack= age. This is important because the Nmap package is big and if a user only nee= ds ncat, it is senseless to install the whole Nmap package.=20 3. The new package Ncat is the new standard netcat. The only thing what I wa= nt 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 wit= h the log file of the other package.=20 This should be everything, if something is not clear or not ok just wrote bac= k.=20 Regards Jonatan --===============7581134074084602855==--
