** Description changed:
iproute2 upstream produces releases coinciding with upstream kernel
releases to support the latest kernel features. Noble's iproute2 is
still back at v6.1 even though it will use the v6.8 kernel. This means
we provide no userspace interface for newer features - some of which are
noted by a networking hardware partner in bug 2060969.
Ubuntu's iproute2 has diverged from Debian's to add support for Ubuntu
FAN. Noble has dropped kernel support for Ubuntu FAN, so those are no
longer needed, and we could now just do a merge. We could also port the
FAN patches forward if we can identify a need (see the original
description of this bug to a link to such a port), but I have not done
any testing with that.
I have built Debian's iproute2 in a noble ppa at ppa:dannf/test and
smoke tested it on an amd64 virtual machine:
- ubuntu@cortez-vm-0:~$ sudo dpkg -i iproute2_6.8.0-1~24.04.1_amd64.deb
+ ubuntu@cortez-vm-0:~$ sudo dpkg -i iproute2_6.8.0-1~24.04.1_amd64.deb

triggered a run in my PPA, and it passed:
