My testing of a repackaged version was limited to ensuring that the build didn't break and that I could ping a remote host from my wired, static IP, ethernet connection. Hardly a robust test suite! My vote would be to leave IPRoute2 as-is, i.e. option #1. IPRoute2 is a fairly unimportant package for me personally, hence me favouring the path of least effort here. Others with more complex networking requirements/configurations are encouraged to report their results too. There is a 4th option, which is to patch the new version's features & fixes onto the correctly packaged version currently in the book. I think this is only worth considering if we get a better understanding of what those features & fixes are though. > I'd personally rather use the new version > since it syncs to the 2.6.22 interfaces and that's the kernel we'll be > running. I'll try poking the maintainer again. Thanks Dan. Maybe keeping the package freeze open for IPRoute2 & Glibc-2.5.1 during the RC process will enable Bruce to move forward with cutting the -rc1 version fairly soon?
