[OT] ifconfig(8)
Marco d'Itri m...@linux.it writes: On Aug 08, Arno Töll a...@debian.org wrote: ifconfig and route were around already when everyone insisted on the separation of /bin and /sbin. /bin/ip is slightly newer and supposed to replace ifconfig/route some day entirely. Just for the records, iproute entirely replaced ifconfig/route long ago. Curiously enough, ifconfig(8) shows RX/TX byte counts, and, somehow, I didn't manage to get a similar output from iproute. Any pointers? TIA. The only reason for keeping around the old programs is compatibility with other packages not yet updated and to not scare people who do not know better. (Does anybody want to try removing net-tools and see what breaks?) I guess that $ apt-cache rdepends may be a safer check, like: $ apt-cache rdepends --no-suggests net-tools However, it made me wonder, why ifupdown Suggests: net-tools? -- FSF associate member #7257 http://sf-day.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
