Hi,

I'm exercising a bit of paranoia trying to find the canonical source for 
iputils.

Our internal build system is currently been pointing to skbuff.net[1]. 
This appears to now be out of date there hasn't been a new tarball since 
December 2015.

It looks like the tarballs have moved to github[2]. Given the recent 
name/typo squatting efforts on npm/pypi it makes me a little nervous to 
see an iputils organization with a single member and a single 
repository, but then again that's no different to skbuff.net being 
someones personal site.

Debian has it's own mirror[3]. But it does mention the github repo[1] in 
debian/copyright. Buildroot[4] seems to point to the github one so that 
gives me some confidence in it's legitimacy.

Finally I managed to find an announcement email on the netdev list[5] 
that suggest the github repo was at least announced.

Is there any true source endorsed by the netdev project?

Thanks,
Chris
