Re: [arch-dev-public] dropping tcp_wrapper support

[Dimitrios Apostolou <jimis@xxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

I've been using tcp_wrappers on Linux for more than 10 years, and on 
Archlinux for 6 years.

FWIW I'm not happy about this change. Even though I know that the same 
functionality is provided by iptables, I consider tcp_wrappers the Unix 
Way.

Anyway there is no value in fighting about personal opinions, and I 
respect the developers' decision because tcp_wrappers is unmaintained. 
Hopefully someone will move forward, fork the package and bring it up 
to date.
