netcat-openbsd 1.218-3ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

netcat-openbsd (1.218-3ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Move the netcat transitional package here and have it depend on the
      preferred netcat-openbsd implementation of netcat, not
      netcat-traditional.
    - Don't build-depend on strace on i386 where it's unavailable.

netcat-openbsd (1.218-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Upload to unstable.

netcat-openbsd (1.218-2+exp6) experimental; urgency=medium

  * d/checks/07-name-resolution: Warn on resolution failures.
  * d/checks/07-name-resolution: Prefer `getent ahosts/ahostsv4/ahostsv6`.
    Regression from 1.218-2+exp5.

netcat-openbsd (1.218-2+exp5) experimental; urgency=medium

  * d/checks/07-name-resolution: Only use `getent ahosts…` for AF_INET.  Using
    it for AF_UNSPEC yields FTBFS on landau (sparc64 buildd).

netcat-openbsd (1.218-2+exp4) experimental; urgency=medium

  * d/checks/07-name-resolution: Also check ip6-localhost.
  * d/checks/07-name-resolution: Support empty `getent ahostsv6 localhost`
    output (attempt to fix FTBFS on the reproducible-builds build daemons).

netcat-openbsd (1.218-2+exp3) experimental; urgency=medium

  * d/checks/07-name-resolution: Dump resolver status on failure.
    Unfortunately that test makes r-b unhappy and it's unclear why, so let's
    dump some extra information on error.

netcat-openbsd (1.218-2+exp2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Minor d/rules refactoring.
  * Demote setsockopt SO_REUSEADDR/SO_REUSEPORT fatal failures to warnings.
    `nc -l` was unusable (ENOPROTOOPT) on platforms such as GNU Hurd which
    define but don't implement SO_REUSEPORT.  dh_auto_test failed on these
    platforms since d/t/client-server calls `nc -l`.

netcat-openbsd (1.218-2+exp1) experimental; urgency=low

  * d/control: Reflow Description field.
  * d/copyright: Add self under "Files: debian/*" stanza.
  * d/checks/07-name-resolution: Dump resolution results on error.  This
    should make FTBFS troubleshooting on some buildds easier.
  * Also run d/t/client-server after dh_auto_test.
  * Skip extended test suite on hppa and ia64.
  * DEP-8, dh_auto_test: Run d/t/client-server also on non-Linux platforms.

netcat: TCP/IP swiss army knife -- transitional package

 This is a transitional package that depends on the netcat-openbsd
 implementation of netcat, preferred in Ubuntu. It may be safely removed.

netcat-openbsd: TCP/IP swiss army knife

 A simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections
 using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool
 that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At
 the same time it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool,
 since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has
 several interesting built-in capabilities.
 .
 This package contains the OpenBSD rewrite of netcat, including support for
 IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.
