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=3Dgitroot/iputils.git;a=3Dsum= mary 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. noah --47eKBCiAZYFK5l32 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFQGKwVYrVLjBFATsMRAhRqAJ4oAM8cq7cNafgakyGFL8SGH20dZACeIWWR 49q4As0ipcbhBfn7I+LRAMQ= =hjO+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --47eKBCiAZYFK5l32--
