Description Enrico Scholz 2004-05-21 22:24:00 UTC

Description of problem:

The shipped manpages for ip(8)/tc(8) are very poor and not very
useful. There are existing alternative ones; a sample is available at

http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~ensc/ip.8.gz

It is originated at Debian's 'iproute' package so there should be no
legal issues. The complete manpage and this of tc can be extracted from

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/iproute/iproute_20010824-13.1.diff.gz



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

iproute-2.4.7-14

Comment 1 Phil Knirsch 2004-05-26 13:29:18 UTC

Great, will include in next iproute build.

Read ya, Phil

Comment 2 Pekka Pietikäinen 2004-05-27 08:19:07 UTC

Ah, was just going to file the same bug.

Btw. the master site for these is http://www.lartc.org/manpages/,
quickly checking the debian patch it seems to have the latest ones
so probably no need to change anything but might be useful to note
this in the specfile.
