Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add tftp-hpa.

[Gábor Boskovits]

Hello!

#1 A post on the list cought my attention regarding security of packages with both server and client. I think that should also apply to this package.

I am waiting for follow ups on that.
#2 I have discussed the licensing issues with Thomas Danckaert, but waiting for confirmation wether the licence is correct now.

I will try to contact upstream, if they consider relicensing the contribution under isc.

#3 I am still waiting for assistance regading the category of this package. My candidtates: networking, ftp (but this is tftp),admin (because isc-dhcp is there) or maybe something like network-infrastucture. I have seen dnsmasq in dns, which also provides tftp, but I don't think this package belongs to dns.
