Hi, I'm filing this bug with severity important since the Debian copyright is refering to the wrong place. The current Homepage is https://draconx.ca/projects/rarpd-dx/ (d/copyright refers to rawhide). At https://draconx.ca/archive/rarpd-dx/ version 1 can be downloaded - so please package this one. Remark: I can happily step in to package this if you agree that this package can be moved to Debian team on Salsa. I prefer to choose Debian Commons as maintainer. Just let me know if I should migrate the packaging to this team. Kind regards Andreas. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/05/msg00105.html
Hi Nick, Am Wed, Aug 19, 2026 at 11:28:50PM -0400 schrieb Nick Bowler: Happy to keep you in the row. :-) Can you do some estimation of time (just roughly in weeks / months). This will influence my decision whether I might upload the Debian package as is and update later or simply wait until you have issued a new release. Sounds very promising. It would be great if you could keep me informed. Kind regards Andreas.
I found several round tuits over the past couple weeks. I think I got everything important just about ready. I hope to find time to cut a release this weekend, assuming I don't run into any problems. I'll follow up with a brief summary of what actually went into the release compared to the Debian patchset. Is it OK to credit you publically for bringing these to my attention? Thanks, Nick

Thank you for this update.
It's very convenient if Debian patches can be droped.
It is OK but there is no need to do so. I just did my duty as Debian
Maintainer to forward patches (where the majority is not my own work).
Thank you for your work on this
Andreas.
OK, I just pushed out rarpd-dx-1.1, which can be found at the archive location on my web site: http://draconx.ca/projects/rarpd-dx/ http://draconx.ca/archive/rarpd-dx/ Please let me know if there are any problems. Here is my summary of the Debian patch set. As a general note for this release, I did not worry about changes which just add new log messages. I may come back to these in a future update. 001_from_0.981107_4.diff: - I did not apply the changes to the internal stuctures as it is unclear to me if these fix any real problem (I have some plans to rework these but I decided to defer this for a future release). - The default tftpboot dir can now be controlled by a configure option, so the effect of this patch can be achieved by configuring with
Hi Nick, Thanks again for your work on this. That's extremely helpful and your verbose discussion of the patches convinced me to disable all Debian patches for the moment. I'm waiting for comments from the Debian maintainer who added these patches before. Mats, please let me know what you think. All packaging code is updated in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rarpd Your comments will be really appreciated. Kind regards and thank you for your cooperation Andreas.

In observing the renewed attention in 'rarpd', and being kindly reminded by Andreas Tille, let me make it publicly obvious that I am letting the supervision of this particular packaging 'rarpd' be passed on to properly active members of the Debian infrastructure. Continuing this work in the form of team maintenance is of course to be applauded, but I do not want to favour any particular form of supervision. Do let our preferred system Debian prosper in days to come, says Mats Andersson, PhD.
