Public TSP download area README
===============================

We found that tspc-2.1.1-6 as distributed with Debian does not comply
to Freenet6's own specification in RFC 5572.

In fact, the same holds for the Windows client by Freenet6.  The
problems are programming errors, such as forgetting to terminate a
line at the end of one message, and sending an additional NUL
character in another case.

The patch in this directory was succesfully applied to the said Debian
package, and the two packages provided work as a smooth replacement
that makes the package comply to RFC 5572.  The patch has been sent
to Freenet6, but they could not give an estimate on when it would be
applied to their version of tspc.


If removing tspc is a problem, it is due to the Debian system demanding
to stop the daemon, even if it is not running.  To aid in that problem
(that derives from the original package), you may have to edit
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tspc.prerm -- this file does "exit $?" in two places,
which should be replaced with "true" to simplify removal.
