But are they broken? As far as I know, they work.
Depends on your definition of "broken". From the top of my head, I have recently seen:
- ifconfig silently truncating interface names
Ah. I change mine to short names like eth0, so I didn't notice.
- hostname -f and -i broken if hostname has only an IPv6 address
Well, hostname apparently has a replacement. ... Ok, so there are some issues. Relying on those tools may be an error.
If they are still available as an extra, non default package, we can install and use it. Not being a default package, things that miss the tools will be corrected, and we can adapt our local scripts with time.
While I believe most of net-tools should have been gone long ago, just dropping it out of the blue would be too harsh and too disruptive. On the other hand, it should no longer be included in the default installation or standard patterns.
Yes, that's what I mean. On 2015-06-10 13:57, Michal Kubecek wrote:
One more note on this: given the rolling nature of Tumbleweed, this is going to be a problem - existing intallation will keep the package even if it is removed from default installation patterns. Thus only users with newly installed systems will be able to notice any problem with missing dependencies.
Suggestion; add to zypper a (soft) "un-recommend" feature. Might be useful in a rolling release and for release upgrades. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
