I agree that a merge from debian would be better, since we are quite behind: iproute2 | 6.5.0-4 | testing But we have been at 6.1.0 since at least lunar, so I don't know how long that would take. I think we can take these patches for noble. I would ask that you also add this one, though, to update the manpage with the new option: commit 1fbb61058d34e3eb9a34f5e9308d90c4a961 Author: Petr Machata Date: Mon Mar 27 18:12:06 2023 +0200 man: man8: Add man page coverage for "ip address add ... proto" Signed-off-by: Petr Machata Signed-off-by: David Ahern Also, you could perhaps add your test script as a quick DEP8 test, what do you think?

Finally, it would also be good if the patches have a few more DEP3 headers. In particular, Origin, with a link to the upstream commit, and also a pointer to this bug here (Bug-Ubuntu: ...). The hash in the "From" bit in both patches didn't match the upstreams I could find (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git or https://github.com/shemminger/iproute2.git), but I did find the commits using a log search. It would help if the Origin tag were there, then, with a direct link. Regarding an SRU, I would have some concerns: - what is the real user benefit for stable release users? Do we have bugs filed against iproute2 asking for this feature? How much demand is there for this? In which kind of deployment would this be most useful? - I see that the "ip" output changes when this flag is present, with the new "proto " string. What's the regression potential here for parsing this output in scripts? I believe the new "proto " text is only present if there was a protocol assigned, and if not, the default value (0 I believe?) is not shown. But are there other regression potentials here? Perhaps in the json output, or when some extra flag is added to "ip" commands? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iproute2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2039280 Title: Support IP address protocol Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in iproute2 source package in Mantic: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be assigned a protocol value that indicates the provenance of the IP address.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2039280] Re: Support IP address protocol
Thank you! I confirmed that the added distro-patches match the upstream patches. The feature looks useful, but it's not very common to backport new features as part of an SRU... So I'll leave that decision to the SRU team. In either way, this should probably first be fixed in the current "devel" series, i.e. by merging iproute2 v6.4+ from Debian unstable. Once that is accomplished, we can consider this patch for SRU. Would you be interested in working on that merge? Nitpick: When aiming for SRU, you should consider updating the SRU template in the bug description to the latest version (although, the one you used might also be accepted as-is) and also change the version number according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging, e.g.: 6.1.0-1ubuntu2.1 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iproute2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2039280 Title: Support IP address protocol Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in iproute2 source package in Mantic: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be assigned a protocol value that indicates the provenance of the IP address.
