[bug-inetutils] The pending patches of MEA

[Mats Erik Andersson]

Dear all,

to ease the overview of the patch suggested by me, and which have not yet
been settled, let me enumerate them in the order of decreasing urgency.

The reference is to the message containing the most recent patch, and
the attachement reference in case the test is external to the message.


* A segmentation fault for GNU/Linux amd64.

     This is urgent, should have been settled a week ago.

* An IPv6 capable TFTP server.

* Making GNU Inetutils compilable on OpenBSD.

     The first three patches have so far seen no comment by any list reader.

     An action corresponding to the third patch in

       http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-inetutils/2010-09/txtATTimjxmHt.txt

     has been initiated as a test module in GNUlib by Simon J. Until that action
     is resolved or the patch is applied, there is no hope to compile for 
OpenBSD.
     (The first two patches in this message have already been applied.)

* Accurate error status for ping/ping6 in OpenBSD.

     No comments so far by any list reader.

     http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-inetutils/2010-09/msg00032.html

* An IPv6 capable TFTP client.

     No comments so far by any list reader. A conditional on NI_MAXHOST
     should be inserted.

* Trivial corrections on comments in src/inetd.c.

Let me use the opportunity to remind everyone of three patches suggested
by Guillem Jover. These suggestions must discussed with sound motivation.
