Package: iproute2 Version: 4.9.0-1 Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer, I am very grateful for your work on Debian. As someone used to ifconfig, I sometimes struggle with remembering it was the command ip I should use now. I never could with it with apropos, and I finally figured out why. "ip - show / manipulate routing, devices, policy routing and tunnels" The description for ip doesn't mention 'network', 'address', 'interface', 'ethernet', 'internet' or 'mac', so it's rather hard to find for someone wondering what ifconfig was replaced with. Could finding ip with one of those, by including it into the name or description, be made possible, making the change easier for people used to ifconfig? -- Lynoure Braakman -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages iproute2 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libdb5.3 5.3.28-12+b1 ii libelf1 0.168-1 ii libmnl0 1.0.4-2 ii libselinux1 2.6-3+b1 Versions of packages iproute2 recommends: pn libatm1 <none> ii libxtables12 1.6.0+snapshot20161117-6 Versions of packages iproute2 suggests: pn iproute2-doc <none> -- no debconf information
