Call ip, arping, and rdisc with full paths
I sent your patch to upstream, let's wait for acceptance. Your patch assumes 'ip' was installed in /sbin. It isn't always true, so it's wontfix. I am not surprised at all that it's not acceptable upstream, otherwise I would have sent it there myself. The Fedora package *does* install the binaries explicitly to /sbin in the specfile and thus remains broken as described, and the posted patch fixes it, reopening. Another fix obviously would be to symlink the mentioned binaries eg. to /bin. I'd like to wait until decision about path (/sbin) will be made. I prefer to fix it in all branches same way. Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I suppose adding /sbin into paths in F-10 solved your problem. Not at all, I'm still on F-9. Besides, adding /sbin dirs to the default paths creates so severe usability problems with shell completion for normal users that chances are that I won't be "upgrading" to F-10 at all. Chances are also that /sbin paths will be removed from defaults again in F-11, there's a "RealSbinSanity" feature cooking... so it might be that this issue needs to be revisited again soon. |
