tnftp dependencies are a big bootstrapping and updating hassle.  If it

like a tnftp_basic package that avoids all dependencies (no ncurses, no

ncurses and openssl for the full tnftp.

Just for notification, "net/tnftp require buitin termcap" issue is resolved.
It is regression since converted from "devel/readline/builtin.mk" to
"mk/readline.builtin.mk" mechanically.


Huh, yes that seems to be fixed.

That reduces the payoff of using a cut-down tnftp_basic, so actually a beefed-up tnftp_ssl would be an equally valid approach judged on this metric. I'm not sure which I prefer now :)

Either way the solution is the same, it's just a matter of which package gets to produce the executable called "/usr/pkg/bin/ftp".
