Title:
Merge iproute2 with the latest Debian version: 6.8.0-1 from
testing/unstable (main)
Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
A few versions have been released and Ubuntu Noble still has the 6.1
version (6.1.0-1ubuntu2) from one year ago. Could it be possible to
import the latest version from Debian unstable fixing a bunch of
issues and supporting features from more recent kernels?
Please note that Ubuntu Noble 24.04 will probably be shipped with the
v6.8 kernel [1]. IPRoute v6.1 supports features added up to the v6.1
kernel, so missing the ones added to earlier versions. Switching to
the v6.7 now should ease the upgrade to the v6.8 later.
