2 # Unmaintained. Contains vulnerable code and a large number of unsolved
3 # (upstream) issues, including licensing issues that prevented Debian
4 # from including it. The current version is from 2004, and carries
5 # some local patches. Last upstream commits are from 2013, and involve
6 # three successive branches, the 0.7.x not having a release since 2004,
7 # and the two remaining branches never seeing a single release.
8 # The suggested alternatives are net-analyzer/{netcat,openbsd-netcat}.
9 # Removal in 30 days. Bug #601742.
