I don't agree, but... > tftpd and tftpd-hpa default for this in unstable now, leaving aftpd > being the only one missing. would be nice if aftpd would just adapt. > creating a policy entry about it when there are three packages in total > implementing it, looks a bit overengineered for me (gain vs. > administrative overhead). but that's probably just me :) There might be an easy way to handle the situation. The policy could be worded as: * The /var/lib/tftpboot is the logical location for tftpd server root directory. It can be a directory or symlink to a directory elsewhere. Plus the #2 of my initial proposal. > * Serve filenames relatively to the defined tftp-root, not > relatively to the system root directory (/). I would drop my initial #3 (RFC compliance) as those usually aren't in the policy. Rational: 1. That's very easy to manage for DDs 2. Any user should be able to cope with it. 3. It isn't overengineered. 4. <flame>This scheme allows using /srv in a FHS conformant way</flame> Regards, Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
