Hi all, Starting last month, Debian has been discussing dropping net-tools[1], which prompted me to review its status in Ubuntu. This package, which provides various commands like ifconfig and netstat, is currently part of ubuntu-minimal. However, the tools in this package are largely considered superseded by iproute2, providing 'ip' and 'ss' tools that interface much better with modern kernels. And iproute2 is also part of ubuntu-minimal.
Is there a reason to keep net-tools in ubuntu-minimal, or should we remove it from the minimal set for 17.04? Packages / flavors that want it can still depend on it (which they should technically already be doing anyway). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
