Dear Maintainer,
I was really surprised to find that the rdisc daemon is not provided
in a package for Debian. I'm currently working on moving hundreds of
machines over to Debian from a different distro and we rely on
rdisc. Is there any technical or legal reason why the rdisc daemon
couldn't be shipped in a package?
Attached is a patch which enables the building of rdisc and puts it
into an iputils-rdisc package along with the associated man page and
systemd service file. Note that I had to bump the debian/compat level
to 10 for dh_installsystemd to do the right thing with the postinst,
postrm and prerm scripts.
Regards,
Stephen Quinney
