Description:
G-Kermit is a utility for file transfer using the Kermit protocol,
supporting text and binary transfers on 7-bit and 8-bit connections.
It is most useful as a remote endpoint; for a more fully-featured Kermit
program, use the ckermit package.
Note: This is based on an old Red Hat spec file from 2000-2001, of which the
most recent version I could find was gkermit-1.0-9. Note that the version
number 1.0 was inccorect; it should have been 1.00. I have fixed that, bumped
the release to 10, updated the spec to modern Fedora packaging standards, and
added patches to fix compilation warnings and errors due to missing includes of
standard C library headers.
There has in the past been misinformation in RPM spec files regarding gkermit
obsoleting ckermit or vice versa; neither actually obsoletes the other as they
don't serve exactly the same purpose. ckermit is a very full-featured terminal
program especially well suited for use at the local endpoint, though it can be
used for the remote endpoint as well. gkermit is a more lightweight program
especially well suited for use at the remote endpoint.
