Two things that must be added or rejected: 1. TFTP server with IPv6; patch still pending evaluation. Probably I should review it myself, in order to see whether I disagree with myself. 2. The recent segmentation fault in syslogd __must__ be attended. The patch has not seen any comments. The test script is also of value. Apart from deep testing of all changes that have gone into the code basis since release 1.8, we need to make sure that any changes are reflected in the Texinfo source. This is all to easy to forget. Pondering on the evolution since I began following this project, there has been important corrections to inetd, improvements to the clients logger, ftp, traceroute, and the close to full compatibility with BSD systems. We definitely need to study the workaround that Guillem Jover implemented to pass the final touch to GNU/kFreeBSD. Doing so remains a matter for those of you fluent with GNUlib, since the interface to GNUlib fails. We ought to improve the test script for the TFTP server into functionality for at least all systems we want to target. There was a thread past Autumn related to this. Preferably the test stub that I recently submitted for syslogd, could also be refined to work for all our targets. I personally would welcome a time span that would allow me to complete the migration of syslogd towards IPv6, to provide selective binding, and to the elimination of pre-initiated forwarding sockets. This very moment I could submit a patch that migrates syslogd to use getaddrinfo(3), thus allowing a hard coded choice of building the server or IPv4 or IPv6; no dual stacked server yet. The patch does provide a more robust server in itself, but it is only the beginning as I indicated in the short list. Best regards, Mats
