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?

Greetings
Marc
