Hi Paul,

I just noticed that you suggested a patch for atftp,
but it is no longer available.
Do you by chance still have the patch and could attach it
to the bug? Otherwise I would suggest to close it.

Kind regards,
  Reiner

There is a HTML-only copy of the patch on archive.org, it would require
some pre-processing but it could potentially be applied.

Looks like there may be a git repo containing the patch, but the web
server is returning an internal server error for it.

The author of the patch seems to be on IRC and also lists their email
address so they should be easily contactable, I've CCed them.

Dennis, we are discussing your old dynamic content patch for atftpd,
which I proposed to add to the Debian package in this bug report:

https://bugs.debian.org/523979

I don't have a copy of the patch file.

BTW, atftpd upstream looks like they need help, you might want to
consider working on atftpd upstream. There is also a newer upstream
release and git commits than what is in Debian.

Here are some freshly format-patch'ed patches. One is the patch under
discussion, another adds large file support to atftpd. Both were needed
at the time (and probably still are, but I changed jobs and no longer
work on this) and I don't know whether either of them has been merged
upstream.

Hi all,

I just investigated the status of this issue and found:

  • some 'wraparound'-functionality has been implemented, cf. [1]
    (also available in the debian package)
  • the generated content patch is ustream in an extra branch [2],
    but somehow further development has stopped.

Best regards,

  Andi
