Hm. It's not clear what the actual user impact of this is? Reading from the original description, it seems that if a user uses an invalid label to set one address and *also* uses a valid label to set another address *then* tools can be confused?
“Our parser is actually more lenient than the manpage states” on its own is definitely not SRU-worthy, but if it breaks other tools then maybe? On the other hand, from the bug it looks like if you *don't* mix valid and invalid labels then everything actually works? So this would potentially be breaking currently working setups? I think we need more information before determining whether this should be accepted as an SRU. ** Changed in: iproute2 (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1662620 Title: "ip addr add" permits illegal labels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/+bug/1662620/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
