Hi. This bug is something like #330115 . It also can be used by regular users, and it is also installed in /bin in Debian (as reported by my buddies) and, probably, RH-based distros. And it's analog (netstat in that case) is already installing in /bin. Reproducible: Always
I'm wondering if we should just move all of iproute2 to /bin since the bin/sbin split is becoming so much less significant these days?
1) ping? 2) @WilliamH, sure, why not?
williamh: ping on this. potential plan: - move to /bin - put symlinks in /sbin for 6 months?
There are NO uses of any of the following binaries with a path in the portage tree directly: arpd ctstat devlink genl ifcfg ifstat** lnstat nstat rdma routef routel rtacct rtmon rtpr rtstat tipc I have not finished checking: ss tc bridge Interesting cases: - ifstat already can be ambiguous with net-analyzer/ifstat That means any remaining use would be inside packages themselves.
ping?
