Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #307200, revision 2 Title: Replace ifconfig by iproute2 - add warning messages to old tools - openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) + reject date: 2009-08-12 10:38:27 + reject reason: Not for 11.2 anymore. Priority Requester: Important + openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation + Priority + Requester: Important Requested by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Description: Because Novell once again cannot be convinced, I am putting https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492665 to public vote here. - net-tools (/sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/route, arp, etc.) has numerous problems, not to mention that it is not developed since April 2001 anymore. Since April 2004, iproute2 is available as a replacement for ifconfig, but users still use the old tools with the seemingly-crippled functionality. I propose printing a warning message upon invocation to try and educate users to finally use the modern tools. + Discussion: + #1: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-08-12 10:39:14) + I suggest to do this once 11.2 is finished to see early what needs + changes. + #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-08-12 10:39:33) + Olaf, any comments on this? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307200
