Package: iproute2
Version: 4.9.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I am very grateful for your work on Debian.
As someone used to ifconfig, I sometimes struggle with remembering it was the
command
ip I should use now. I never could with it with apropos, and I finally figured
out why.
"ip - show / manipulate routing, devices, policy routing and tunnels"
The description for ip doesn't mention 'network', 'address', 'interface',
'ethernet',
'internet' or 'mac', so it's rather hard to find for someone wondering what
ifconfig was
replaced with.
Could finding ip with one of those, by including it into the name or
description, be made
possible, making the change easier for people used to ifconfig?
