Don't cut essential tools without providing a superior replacement. Things like traceroute and ping are essential for troubleshooting network problems.
The Talk here is NOT about a full drop, but about a split out of default (no specail select) install, while still available on the install media and main-distro-repo. Just reducing the installed clutter and crud. For that we have to make sure that: A: no script / program uses these tools internal without declaring them B: make noise about the replacements. The replacement for ifconfig was already debated in this thread. If some one misses a functionality, please give a example what exact is missing. (e.g. tell about program and output / function that would be missing) To repeat: this is about default install, not a drop from repo. - Yamaban -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
