http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-current.tar.bz2 gives 404 error.

2018-02-26 Thread Graph Worlok
I tried posting this last week, but it seems to have been lost.

Did somebody forget to migrate part of a script to correctly link
-current against the latest tarball at http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/
?

Its referenced as the source location for ping in just about any
distro i can get my hands on.

Regards.


Possible iputils infrastructure/hosting issue on skbuff.net

2018-02-21 Thread Graph Worlok
http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/ has a list of source tarball releases.

All of these releases reference
http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-current.tar.bz2 as the location
to obtain the source.

This URL 404's, meaning that most linux systems in existence refer to
a unavailable URL for the source in their man pages.

If this location is no longer valid going forwards, can we please at
least have a copy of the current stable source modified to reflect
this fact available at
http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-current.tar.bz2, so that anybody
who does care enough to pull down the latest source can get a pointer
to the new location?

or is it simply an infrastructure issue, and the script to label the
latest tarball release as -current is no longer running?

Regards.
