Package: freedombox-setup Severity: minor Tags: patch Previously we were using some programs in net-tools, but they are no longer needed: - We now use NetworkManager to set up our network connections. - The diagnostic tests to check open ports have been moved to Plinth, and no longer use netstat.
net-tools is also considered obsolete by its Debian maintainer (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/12/msg00606.html). I'm attaching a patch that drops the dependency on net-tools. I've done basic testing of this patch, by building an image with freedom-maker and accessing Plinth. -- James
