Anything that expands to the current directory is more aggravation
than it's worth, so IMO 3 is right out.
I'm not totally against the idea of repackaging it, but I am
reluctant - particularly when we're close to a release. The
changelog from the announcement on lwn has:
David Lamparter (1):
iproute2: Format IPv6 tunnels endpoints nicely.
Mike Frysinger (1):
ip/routef lifesaver
Patrick McHardy (1):
Fwd: Re: more iproute2 issues (not critical)
Pavel Roskin (1):
ip: add support for displaying link types 802 and 803
Stephen Hemminger (11):
Revert "Increase internal clock resolution to nsec"
Add xt_tcpudp.h
incorrect initialization
headers update to 2.6.22
fix last change
fix build warnings
netem: static
Add TC_LIB_DIR environment variable.
ss: fix issues with signed inodes
Thomas Graf (2):
iproute2: support for goto/nop action and detached flag
iproute2: Support IFF_LOWER_UP and IFF_DORMANT
Yasuyuki KOZAKAI (1):
Fix symbolic link to tc-bfifo.8
jamal (2):
SAD info
SPD info
Most of these mean nothing to me, the only one that sounds
important is the ip/routef change. I guess this is from gentoo
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139853 - looks worthwhile,
but not critical (the dates suggest it went upstream a year ago)
so I vote for ignoring the update.
