netcat-openbsd 1.218-2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
netcat-openbsd (1.218-2ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=low * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1950985). Remaining changes: - Move the netcat transitional package here and have it depend on the peferred netcat-openbsd implementation of netcat, not netcat-traditional. netcat-openbsd (1.218-2) unstable; urgency=low * d/checks: Fix FTBS on some platforms: + Skip entire test suite (and also d/t/client-server) on non-Linux platforms. There are Linux-only dependencies, such as strace(1) and ss(8). + Don't make any asumption regarding v4/v6 preference when resolving localhost. + Don't assume getent(1) produces space-separated output. + Replace strace's '-Ianywhere' with '-I1' so we can run with older strace versions. + Skip TCP MD5 signatures test on unsupported platforms. (It appears hppa chokes on the readpassphrase injection via LD_PRELOAD, and TCP MD5 signature seems to be disabled in the riscv64 buildd.) netcat-openbsd (1.218-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release (from OpenBSD 7.0). * d/rules refactoring. * d/netcat-openbsd.{postinst,prerm}: Explicitly exit with status code 0. * Bump Standards-Version to 4.6.0 (no changes needed). * Remove unused lintian override spare-manual-page. * d/checks/*: Add test suite for the upstream codebase as well as the Debian- specific patches. This adds Build-Depends: iproute2, procps, strace (unless under 'nocheck' profile). Parsing strace(1) output isn't ideal of course... but we can't think of a better way to do these checks and it's hopefully fine for dh_auto_test (the DEP-8 tests don't rely on that). * Add DEP-8 tests: 1/ ensure nc(1) is nc.openbsd(1), and 2/ basic client/server communication test. netcat-openbsd (1.217.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release (from OpenBSD 6.9). * Refresh debian/README.source to reflect current workflow. * Replace Aron Xu as Maintainer at Aron's request. Many thanks to him for his work on the netcat-openbsd package! * d/p/port-to-linux-with-libsd.patch, d/p/build-without-TLS-support.patch: Add "Forwarded: not-needed" annotation. -- Dave Jones <email address hidden> Sun, 14 Nov 2021 09:42:30 +0000

Binary packages built by this source
- netcat: TCP/IP swiss army knife -- transitional package
This is a transitional package that depends on the netcat-openbsd
implementation of netcat, preferred in Ubuntu. It may be safely removed.
- netcat-openbsd: TCP/IP swiss army knife
A simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections
using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool
that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At
the same time it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool,
since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has
several interesting built-in capabilities.
.
This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, including support for
IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.
