Some broken Intel E100 nics can't netboot from a modern TFTP server that
includes the blksize extension. I know OpenBSD's tftpd doesn't include
that extension, and tftp-hpa has an option to disable that extension.
I would be fine with replacing netkit-tftp, but replacing tftp-hpa is a
no-go for me.
Yeah, when this came up, I think I mentioned that "tftp-hpa is needed
for something". I was thinking hardware support... if I remember
right, I think it was the only tftp that could push to my older WRT
router...
Sure. If we enaable tftp/tftpd in inetutils, it will conflict with
tftp-hpa and we might not want that as someone might want to use both
packages. We should then disable tftp/tftpd in inetutils and keep tftp-hpa
in the repo. As to netkit-tftp, we could either keep it or remove it.
Another messier solution would be to enable tftp/tftpd in inetutils but to
rename the conflicting files (they would be the tftp client and its man page)
