Iproute is more powerful, and net-tools is deprecated since a long time. $ rpm -qR initscripts | grep net-tools net-tools
Actually, check rawhide... it's a work in progress.
With latest initscripts in master, all uses of net-tools programs have been removed except for the following snippet of /etc/init.d/network: # Add non interface-specific static-routes. if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then grep "^any" /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read ignore args ; do /sbin/route add -$args done fi That obviously can't be ported away from /sbin/route. I will drop the package requirement in F18 and later, and add a warning to the script if this is executed without /sbin/route installed.

Good to know. Thank you !
Just a note: net_log $"Legacy static-route support not available: route not found" could be a little confusing I think. What about: net_log $"Legacy static-route support not available: /sbin/route not found" or net_log $"Legacy static-route support not available: route command not found"
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
