ifconfig, route, etc... Recently the net-tools maintainer has forked the abandoned net-tools code base and started developing it again, after 15 years of stasis. As a design choice he has changed the output of most commands, hence breaking many scripts parsing their output. With this post I want to encourage fellow maintainers to stop depending on net-tools, which is obsolete software and has been replaced long ago by iproute. Can we stop shipping two network configuration CLI tools in the default install? net-tools has long been deprecated and should not have important priority, for a start. -- ciao, Marco
