Hi,

as I need a tftp client in order to reflash my WRT54GL I realised that Arch
Linux hasn't got one in the main repositories. Normally "tftp" is part of
Inetutils (http://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/). Looking at the PKGBUILD of
"inetutils" confuses me, as it explicitly disables tftp.

I know that I can easily rebuild the package, but I'm wondering why it is
disabled by default? At least you should provide a seperate tftp package, as
there are certainly people who need a tftp client, for instance me ;).


$ pacman -Ss tftp
extra/tftp-hpa 5.0-3
    Official tftp server

$ pacman -Qo `which tftp`
/usr/bin/tftp is owned by tftp-hpa 5.0-3

so is in the main repository.
