Dropped this to the AUR from the official repos due to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/gnu-netcat/-/issues/1, it is not considered maintained and you should most likely be using openbsd-netcat instead :)

Shouldn't the word maintainer in gromit comment from 2025-09-13 10:23 (UTC) changed to maintained? That is, end with the letter d and not with the letter r? I assume he meant it is not considered maintained.
