On linux the net-tools suite of utilities has been long since deprecated. The relevant code that gets executed on Fedora and EPEL should be identified and patched out, with a suitable pull request upstream, to remove the dependency on any tool in the net-tools package and instead use suitable tools form iproute2.
Hi, MariaDB use 'net-tools' package for wsrep - in Galera replication. I'll check what is used from that package and what can I do with it.
Discussion with upstream: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-13993
Hi, as you can see in discussion with upstream (comment 2), it is believed, that just switching dependency should be sufficient. However, can you please check the list (inside that discussion), if you spot something, that deserve more interest?
Looking at: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.2/scripts/wsrep_sst_rsync.sh#L105 it appears to me it switches over cleanly already for ifconfig to ip ... and looking further they already use ss rather than the older netstat. Searching the repo the only other place I see is here... but that's build time tests and I don't know if you run them? https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/8f643e2063c9890a353149f39ef85b2cf3151fd0/mysql-test/t/host_cache_size_functionality.test So ... looks like it'll be simple to resolve this just removing net-tools from the requires and adding iproute
The latest rawhide build has iproute requirement inside instead of net-tools. mariadb build 3:10.2.9-2 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=22258567
Excellent news. Thanks for getting that into place. We can safely mark this closed rawhide in that case I think :)
