I'd like your opinion about a possible update of vsftpd from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7.
I know we're past FF, but I didn't care about it earlier, thinking the package
would have been updated in Debian and synced/merged to Ubuntu. Obviously it
isn't the case, and I was told that no one in particular takes care of that
package in Ubuntu.
The main reason for which I'd like 2.0.7 is because it fixes a bug [1] that
makes it impossible to connect with FTPS using a recent version of FileZilla.
(This is by the way a fix I'd like to backport to hardy-updates).
- Shutdown the SSL data connections properly. This prevents clients such as
recent FileZilla from complaining. Reported by various people.

Moreover, the changelog [2] is pretty small. Some changes don't affect us or are
trivial, some are bug fixes, and 2 are added config options.

Kravchenko <roman@atech.lv>.
- Fix build on Solaris 2.8 due to non-standard C, thanks to IIDA Yosiaki

- Bring the PASV listen() into the bind() retry loop to resolve a race under
extreme load. Thanks to Curtis Taylor <cjt@us.ibm.com>.
- Enhance logging for debug_ssl.
- Shutdown the SSL data connections properly. This prevents clients such as
recent FileZilla from complaining. Reported by various people.
- Add option to enforce proper SSL shutdown on uploads. Left it off after much
agonizing because clients are so broken in this area.
- Add option to delete failed uploads.
Updating vsftpd to 2.0.7?
