- gnu-netcat was last updated in 2004 and is not used as a dependency for any IPFire
addon.
- IPFire has ncat which is used as a dependency for ipfire-netboot, libshout, libvirt
and squid. gnu-netcat not being required for libvcirt was confirmed by Jonatan.
- nmap/ncat is being actively updated.
- Based on the above this patch is removing gnu-netcat from IPFire.

released in 2011.
- In 2010 pcmcia was acquired by the USB Implementers forum and all work has been focussed
on usb only with nothing on pcmcia.
- pcmcia is only still used as a legacy requirement on industrial computing systems for
machine control etc.
pcmcia was introduced originally for laptop use.
- All new laptops have no pcmcia slot. Searching on amazon for laptop with pcmcia gave
55 results none of which had any pcmcia capability.
- Based on the above the package pcmciautils is being removed from IPFire.

This has been discussed briefly in the telephone conference of
September: powertop is considered to be unnecessary, as IPFire is
optimized for performance, thus interfering with possible power
consumption reducing switches. Also, the need for powertop has been
diminished, given that x86 platforms are highly likely not to run on
batteries, and we are phasing out 32-bit ARM, where this could have been
the case.
Therefore, this patch proposes to drop powertop.

Placing the ipblocklist sources file as an own package, easily
allows to update this single file during a core update and to
keep the vendor details for the blocklists up-to-date.

- This is an addon whose purpose is defined as :-
Netpbm is a toolkit for manipulation of graphic images, including conversion of images
between a variety of different formats. There are over 300 separate tools in the
package including converters for about 100 graphics formats. Examples of the sort of
image manipulation we're talking about are: Shrinking an image by 10%; Cutting the top
half off of an image; Making a mirror image; Creating a sequence of images that fade
from one image to another.
- None of the above seems to be a purpose related to a Firewall. Additionally it is
available in a huge number of distributions, including Linux, BSD,Windows,
MacOS X/Darwin, Solaris, AIX etc
- This package seems to be better used on a system in the lan protected by IPFire than
used on IPFire itself

- This is the legacy version of libnl - 1.1.4 and was released in 2013
- libnl-3 is the running stable version - 3.5.0
- Nothing in IPFire has libnl as a dependency. Large number of programs have libnl-3 as
a dependency
- libnl developer indicates that libnl-3 should be used if in any way possible and that
the legacy version is for situations that fail to work with libnl-3
- As everything in IPFire looks to already be using libnl-3 this patch is to remove the
legacy version
