Package: iproute2 Version: 5.10.0-4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
that recent Linuxen don't read IP address labels from /etc/gai.conf comes a bit as surprise. And, additionally, I consider IP address labels at least kind of permanent configuration. Wouldn't it be nice if a startup process would read /etc/gai.conf and establish the apporiate ip addrlabel configuration? Maybe even a systemd path unit that re-reads the file on change?
