Thanks. That could be a viable option if net-tools is somehow undesireable compared to busybox, but it depends on what we are trying to accomplish. - Package sizes are below 1MB in both cases. - Busybox has no requires, but net-tools only requires glibc - Maybe Busybox's tools are better maintained than old net-tools? # dnf repoquery --requires busybox Last metadata expiration check: 2:05:44 ago on Wed May 17 14:32:39 2017. # dnf repoquery --requires net-tools Last metadata expiration check: 2:05:46 ago on Wed May 17 14:32:39 2017. libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) libselinux.so.1()(64bit) rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 rtld(GNU_HASH) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
