Package: infiniband-diags
Version: 1.6.4-3+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

searching the package on 'packages.debian.org' ibchecknet shows up in the 
search results, but locally, the executable /usr/bin/ibchecknet seems not to be 
included anymore?

It is not mentioned in the docs afaik ...

Thank you, regards,


  Vincent

Hi Vincent,

There are two problems here:

* packages.debian.org showing wrong results.

I have filed a detailed bug about this against www.debian.org . You can read it
here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814677
Feel free to add any aditional information.


* the binary /usr/bin/ibchecknet (and others), are not longer provided by the
infiniband-diags package.

>From the version 1.6.0 infiniband upstream have decided to deprecate a bunch
of scripts, it's not documented, only in the spac [1] file they mention their
reasons:
"Deprecated scripts and utilities which provide duplicated functionality, most
often at a reduced performance.  These are maintained for the time being for
compatibility reasons."

[1]:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-ofed/infiniband-diags.git/tree/infiniband-diags.spec?id=17a8ba0cbabd4a4617f6e37a844e8c5f364071a7

All this  scripts could have been added in a infiniband-diags-compat package at
the time of uploading 1.6.x but this wasn't done and now they haven't been
in debian for so long (the version in jessie doesn't ship them), it doesn't
make sense adding them back.

The good news is you can easily get these scripts rebuilding the Debian
package with the option --enable-compat-utils. In the current debian/rules
make sure the override_dh_auto_configure override target looks like this:

override_dh_auto_configure:
        dh_auto_configure -- --with-ibpath_override=/usr/sbin 
--enable-compat-utils

and then rebuild the package. The old scripts will be included.

Hope this helps,
Ana
