Description Tero Pelander 2003-05-14 08:31:18 UTC
Currently gentoo includes three tftp packages:
app-admin/tftp-hpa
net-ftp/atftp
net-misc/netkit-tftp

As you can see they are all in different subsections. I think those should be
moved into single subsection. Reasoning:

net-ftp/atftp - tftp has nothing to do with ftp, so obviously wrong place
app-admin/tftp-hpa - tftp has nothing to do with configuring the local server.
it is a service for other computers, so it would better fit into net-* directories.
net-misc/netkit-tftp - it is obviously a network service and a directory more
precific to tftp doesn't exist, so I think this one is in right place


Reproducible: Always
