NixOS #127 (24 Mar)
By Eelco Dolstra
Replace iputils
The "iputils" package is outdated and doesn't contain manual pages. It should be replaced by GNU inetutils or something similar. It's about the following commands:
- ping, ping6, tracepath - provided by inetutils.
- tracepath6, traceroute6 - provided by ndisc6.
- arping, rdisc - no replacement, but who cares?
Note that inetutils also contains replacements for some but not all commands in the net-tools package, which is also very ancient.
