The new traceroute seems to have a more active upstream maintainer and it is the version included in most major distro [1].
Does it have a public repository? I can't seem to find one.
I do not have a strong opinion about uploading it in [core] or [extra], so [core] could be fine. However, I do not like to include things from different projects/upstream in a single package.
Sure. My main concern is that ping and traceroute stay in base. Then I find it simpler to provide those tools in the same package from the same upstream, rather than splitting them off - but that's also because I see nothing wrong with the current traceroute. Anyway, I've stated my opinion. Now the decision is yours. :) Cheers. -- Gaetan
