I'd like to receive comments about: - shipping /etc/networks in netbase - adding 169.254.0.0 to it
----- Forwarded message from Lennart Poettering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Lennart Poettering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: base-files: please ship /etc/networks and include "link-local 169.254.0.0" to it Package: base-files Version: 4 Severity: wishlist Hi! Please ship /etc/networks in base-files and include the following single line in it: link-local 169.254.0.0 If defined like this tools like "route" will show the string "link-local" for the IPv4LL route created by packages like "avahi-autoipd", "zeroconf" or "zcip". The string "link-local" instead of the numeric 169.254.0.0/24 should be less confusing for users if they encounter these routes after installing one of the aforementioned packages. The network 169.254.0.0/16 for link-local usage is defined in RFC3927.
