Hi,
It was pointed out on IRC to me tonight that there are actually a
reasonable number of packages that still depend on net-tools[0].
This has been deprecated for a long time now and we really should
strive to have everything use iproute2 instead so that there is no
longer a need to keep the deprecated package about, other than if
someone explicitly really wants netstat or ifconfig for some reason.
Is the best way to handle this a mass bug filing?
Converting apps from nettools to iproute is often non-trivial piece
of work. As such isn't really something Fedora package maintainers
should look to undertake as the risk of introducing regressions is
non-negligible. Bug reports really need to go the corresponding
upstream communities to get anything done.
Regards,
Daniel
