Package: netcat-openbsd
Version: 1.89-3
Severity: wishlist
This request applies equally to netcat-openbsd and netcat-traditional.
I find the -q flag to be very useful. It's been a Debian-specific
extension for years. Please encourage the upstream maintainers to
incorporate it.
Thanks,
AMC

Hi Adam,
I am the new maintainer of netcat-openbsd in Debian.
I would like thanks for your proposal. But I'm closing this request,
since upstream has no intention of integrating downstream features for
years. And actually over 30% lines of code in current netcat.c is
added, modified or rewritten (the original source was 23KB, now 33KB
after applying all patches). Debian's netcat-openbsd deserves to be a
fork with a lot of additional features, though I don't want to do it.
