Source: tnftp This issue is a request for comments what has to be done to transition the default ftp from netkit-ftp to tnftp.
tnftp already provides a virtual ftp package, similar to the netkit-ftp and netkit-ftp-ssl packages. The tnftp package maintainer has added a transitional package ftp (not uploaded yet): https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tnftp/-/commit/2004f46789e2fd12fd08f7f89aab2e1f6f88426f Is that package needed or does ftp transition okay once netkit-ftp is removed from the archive? Compatibility: I do not see any compatibility problems regarding command line flags or program behaviour. If you see any problem, please report it on this issue. netrc.5: The content of this manpage is included in tnftp.1 (ftp.1). Is this okay or does the manpage have to be split? Priority: netkit-ftp's control file has Priority: standard, while `apt show ftp` presents Priority: optional. Is it okay to keep Priority: optional for tnftp? Please also report on this issue if you have any other comments about this matter.
