I was under the impresion that iputils had been handed over from Alexey
to Hideaki YOSHIFUJI. The fork at linux-ipv6.org certainly doesn't
appear dead. I count 12 commits this year to the repository visible at
http://www.linux-ipv6.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=gitroot/iputils.git;a=summary
It's not exactly a screaming fast pace, but it's something.
There are several (mostly relatively minor) bugs that have been fixed in
the Debian packages (of which I'm the maintainer). There's another
assortment of patches in the Debian bug tracker that haven't yet been
merged in. I imagine Fedora and RHEL have a collection of similar
modifications. So I suspect that iputils really isn't dead, but it's
just that nobody's bothering to push changes back upstream. I'm more
than happy to start doing so.
