Hi guys,
It was recently brought to my attention (see below) that we still ship net-tools in Arch. Should we perhaps start working on dropping that? I regularly run into users who use it without knowing that it is dead and broken. Moving it to the AUR would hopefully send the right message...
I know that this will probably upset people's muscle-memory as most people probably have been using these tools for decades. I guess that's not an insurmountable problem for us though?
Cheers,
Tom
Drop it. It may upset some users, but there's no point in supporting something that is clearly broken for many years and that has a superior alternative. Lukas
