Rory Winston commented on NET-187:
----------------------------------
Hi guys
Thanks for all of your comments. There is a very good point here, in that
including server code is beyond the stated remit of the project, and including
it may just end up being confusing. Having said that, here is why I decided to
include it:
1. It is a pretty simple and small implementation, that doesnt create any extra
dependencies or have any effect on existing code.
2. I liked the contribution (thanks Dan) and did want to make use of it, but I
couldnt think of a good alternative home for it outside [net]. I also thought
it may be too much work to set up a separate project for basically a one-class
contribution.
3. As somebody pointed out earlier, I don't want to start advertising [net] as
server code implementations suddenly. I have enough problems keeping up with
the client part :-). But this small addition may help to keep the TFTP client
codebase reliable, as we've had some issues with it in the past.
James (and others) have suggested moving the TFTPServer code to the test src
tree. I think this is A Fine Idea, as having it in our source tree implies that
it is a test dependency (which it is right now), and thus we can still be seen
to be staying within the bounds of the project scope. If no-one has any
objections, that's what I'll do (as soon as I sort out my SVN client props -
sorry Niall :) ).
Thanks for all of the interest and discussion around this - it really shows
that you guys have a real commitment to quality. Many thanks to Sebb and Niall
for all of their help with the release stuff so far.
Cheers
Rory
