I got this feature request: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28877
As the new traceroute does not seems to depend on anything in iputils, I think that it would be better to provide it in a new, independant package. I do not see why this should be in [core], so I propose to put it into [extra] and install everything under /usr.
Well ping and traceroute are canonical tools to test connectivity; that makes them quite valuable in [core], to my humble opinion. It is also helpful to have them bundled in a single package. Are there clear-cut advantages that the new traceroute would offer over the iputils' one? Cheers. -- Gaetan
