there is a bug open requesting that we add sys-apps/iproute2 to the
system set [1]. Originally the request was to drop net-tools, but it has
become just adding iproute2.
If no one objects, I would like to do this sometime in the next 72
hours by adding sys-apps/iproute2 to profiles/default/linux/packages.
Thoughts?
I object. We should be keeping towards making @system as small
as possible, not adding random packages there just because someone
happens to use them often.
I don't like to say no when people want something, but I think here I'm
with Michal. My idea of @system is that it must be the bare minimum to
have a "working" system. And for a working system you need just enough
toolchain, networking and python to be able to bootstrap into whatever
you want to build from that point. We already have net-tools, so
iproute2 is not needed.
Why can't you just emerge iproute2 from the stages we already have?
