After changing the Linux distribution from CentOS to Debian "Bullseye"
at an institute of the University of Munich, the removal of rename.ul
from util-linux in Debian "Bullseye" broke one of our scripts used in a
scientific workflow in research. I can't believe that this highly
versatile and simple-to-use tool which is part of the public software at
kernel.org (https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/
<https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>) was arbitrarily
removed by a single person's decision.
One of the strengths of Linux is the freedom of software choice. Please,
do not cut this freedom without very good reason!
Could you please revert this decision and make rename.ul available in
util-linux, again?
If not, is there a way to escalate this issue in Debian's package
decision hierarchy?
Regards,
Dirk.
