Feel free to submit patches cleaning the code up. Also please send them directly to upstream for review. I will not personally waste time on maintaining some ugly hack that I need to keep up to date that just makes the code more crufty for the sake of whitespace. If the whitespace is really important to you but you're not willing to work on a proper solution, then you can easily solve it in a very hacky way by diverting the iproute commands and replacing them with wrapper scripts that sed out the whitespace. I hope you understand and respect that I prefer working on issues that I consider more important on my own free time. In other words, this is still a wontfix for Debian, both because it's not prioritized by the package maintainers and because it's not a Debian-specific issue. Whoever wants this solved need to create a solution that upstream integrates and will thus later appear in Debian as well... -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
