Hi,
So net-tools has been deprecated a long time at this point with numerous
known issues - especially as we enter an IPv6 world.
There was an initial discussion a few months back as can be reviewed here:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/OATM2PQLRKNUW54CQRZ33WUNS6WZMPVL/
<https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/OATM2PQLRKNUW54CQRZ33WUNS6WZMPVL/>
FESCo agreed with the goal of removing the distributions dependency on
net-tools a couple of months ago:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1711 <https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1711>
In accordance with the mass bug filing process the packages that are
affected have been located with `dnf repoquery --all --alldeps
--whatrequires net-tools` and the list of maintainers/packagers
affected are at the end.
There are also BuildRequires, and I believe they are not covered by this
command.
For example python3 BRs /usr/sbin/ifconfig and is not listed.
I'll be filing the tracker bug in due course and bugs against the
packages in question.
I'm going to go through as best I can to check for the reason for the
dependency on each, but naturally I only have so much time. If you are
able to swiftly remove the dependency yourself, or if there is a good
reason for it, please actively close the bugs opened - or reach out to
me to do so.
I'm already knee deep in facter which is a complex update to remove the
requirement as new dependency packages are introduced to get to the
current version without the requirement.
If you're unsure how to port a net-tools related script to one using the
iproute2 utilities please do let me know and I'll be happy to help move
them over.
For those who aren't currently packagers that would like to help -
remember that the new Pagure based interface to our git does support
pull requests :)
For any changes that are made to packages, please just include them in
Rawhide to be a part of F28 and leave the F27 branch and packages at the
current versions they are. If it's going to make a change to the user
experience please file (or ping me and I'll do so on your behalf whilst
managing this process overall) a Self Contained Change for Fedora 28.
Regards,
James
