Hello, Thanks for maintaining ipv6toolkit in Debian. Is it possible the update the package to include the latest upstream changes? I noticed that upstream has not made any tagged release since 2014 but they mentioned a version 2.1 in the CHANGES.TXT If it can help, we (Kali developers) have updated the package last year [1]. It was named differently in Kali so we never noticed that the package already exists in Debian. We just found out thanks to a bug report [2]. We will now use the package from Debian. Thanks Sophie [1] https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/ipv6-toolkit [2] https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=7722
As of today, Upstream version numbers can't be trusted. Please see [1] and [2]. I expect this to improve soon, as per comments in the issues. Thanks for bringing this up. Upstream should make a release soon and I will update Debian's package asap. This should bring Debian's up to par or ahead of Kali's so Kali's could be reliably dropped after that. My only worry is the shebang patch you have [3] which reverts Upstream's [4] for issue [5]. If I follow Upstream, this change would be dropped. Is this OK with you? Thanks, Octavio.
