Description Phil Sutter 2016-09-08 16:47:25 UTC
Backport the following fix from upstream:

    commit 7cc7cb8a888bf50c4e118b6bce4c6926321d0689
    Author: Phil Sutter <phil>
    Date:   Tue Aug 23 11:52:45 2016 +0200
    
        ip-route: Prevent some double spaces in output
    
        The code is a bit messy, as it starts with space after text and at some
        point switches to space before text. But either way, printing space
        before *and* after text almost certainly leads to printing more
        whitespace than necessary.

Unfortunately, it is not fixed. There are still two spaces before features option. Switching to assigned state.

# ip route add 172.29.29.0/24 dev eth0 table 1234
# ip route change 172.29.29.0/24 dev eth0 features ecn table 1234
# ip route show table 1234 | grep 172.29.29.0/24 | grep '  features'
172.29.29.0/24 dev eth0 scope link  features ecn

Strictly speaking, this is a different issue. The problems this ticket addressed (namely, fix *some* double spaces in output) are fixed as expected. Yet Timothy is currently preparing a fix for upstream and if it gets accepted I'll kindly pull it in in order to get rid of the remaining issues of this type in ip route output.

Anyway, thanks a lot for having a close look. Iproute output is constantly broken, so I'm aware this is not the most rewarded job out there. :)


Thanks, Phil
