I think there's a few Thanks! Cleaning up is always good. :) You could also switch to the FileFd class we have in apt, as the name suggests its using Fds directly through, not FILE*, but it does e.g. this write continuation by itself. > more to do, but I got confused as to how the pkgAcqIndexMergeDiffs stuff > works, and will need to print that out to grok it, I expect... It is indeed a bit crazy (just as the name implies also here). Theory is that all pdiffs are downloaded in parallel, but all pdiffs know which are his siblings and the last of those siblings who is done with the download will go the extra mile of calling rred, which will pick up all siblings again based on the fact that they have a similar name (you had an explicit message, but this requires abi changes to do it). In practice the last one in line will also be the last one to finish downloading, but such an assumption could get messed up by redirects, so it felt safer this way (and is needed to handle fallback in error cases anyway). > > Breakage potential: > > I decided for now to enable client-side merge by default but with > > detection for the X-Patch-Precedence field reprepro has introduced?? if it > > has merged patches on the server side, which falls back to the old > > handling. > > Ah, nice, that seems like it should make it backwards compatible in > practice. > > It looks to me like dak and reprepro are the only tools that generate > pdiffs currently, fwiw.

I think that would be a reasonable move. There are other alternatives for those in need of Kerberized FTP support. For example, yafc and proftpd are more actively developed and have optional support for GSSAPI (though I'm not sure if the proftpd GSSAPI module is actually shipped in Debian). > My proposal is to drop the package from the archive, but I wanted to > give others a chance to shout out that I'm wrong and that there's some > compelling use-case I've missed. > If someone can convince me that the packages are useful I'm happy to > spend some effort on them. > However, I don't think that's the case.

Proposal: remove krb5-appl (rlogin, rsh, telnet, ftp with krb5 support)
hi. A few months ago, Russ Allberry stepped down from co-maintaining krb5-appl. I'm reasonably happy to keep maintaining it, although when we thought about it, we cannot think of anyone using the package. It provides krb5 versions of rlogin, rsh, ftp and telnet. The telnet is insecure and should not be used; even with encryption turned on, it's only DES and has other design defects. The other utilities kind of work, but ssh (with Kerberos authentication if desired) is a much better solution. My proposal is to drop the package from the archive, but I wanted to give others a chance to shout out that I'm wrong and that there's some compelling use-case I've missed. If someone can convince me that the packages are useful I'm happy to spend some effort on them.

While that can be more or less relative monetary value depending on location, age, income, etc, it's laughably little compared to the effort to go from zero to DD. I would be surprised if that translates to more than €1 per hour of work. And no matter _where_ you live, if you have access to a computer modern enough to play games, you can probably earn more than that elsewhere. The risk of any "outsider" to become a DD for this offer alone is slim to none. If that's what pushes a DM to dance the NM dance, on the other hand... that's arguably a Good Thing.
