Hi folks, Following the last thread on the subject, several things have happened:
1) All packages depending on netkit-inetd have had their dependencies
replaced with a netkit dependency.
2) netkit now only depends upon openbsd-inetd, so netkit-inetd is now
no longer used by either new installs or upgrades from sarge.
3) netkit-inetd (netkit-base) is now ready for removal from unstable
(see #383960).
I'd like to propose the following as the next step. I was going to
leave this until after etch, but further consideration made me realise
it needs doing before, otherwise etch->etch+1 upgrades will break (or
it will have to wait until etch+2, and that's too long).
What I'd like to propose is this:
1) Split out update-inetd from netbase into a new "inetd" package.
See
http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/inetd_1.tar.gz
http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/inetd_1.dsc
as an example of what I'd like to do (Md should probably be the
maintainer here, since it is derived from netbase). This
- provides a single package for all update-inetd-using packages to
depend upon
- provides a default inetd dependency, so all packages wanting an
inetd just need to depend on it, rather than hardcoding the
default inetd in every package.
- inetd-providing packages need to Provide internet-super-server
- it doesn't depend on netbase, to prevent a circular dependency,
but will post-etch.
2) netkit needs to drop the files moved into the inetd package above,
and Depend on inetd. This will
- ensure update-inetd is present by default so sarge->etch upgrades
will work.
- can be dropped post-etch.
3) All update-inetd users need to depend on inetd instead of/in
addition to netbase. The complete list is:

Once steps 1 and 2 above are compete, I'd like to mass-file bugs
against all these packages, and then if neccessary NMU the dependency
change a few weeks later, so we can ensure everything is fixed before
etch is released.
Any comments?
Regards,
Roger
