= Proposed Self Contained Change: Deprecation of ipcalculator = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ipcalculator
Change owner(s): * Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos <nmav AT redhat DOT com> Fedora provides two tools for IP address calculations. That is the ipcalculator and ipcalc. Ipcalculator was geared towards being used by administrators and ipcalc for use with scripts. This changed with Fedora 23 which provided an updated ipcalc tool which can be used both interactively and from scripts. That, and the fact that ipcalculator is not IPv6-ready suggests we should deprecate ipcalculator and keep a single tool for the job, ipcalc. == Detailed Description == Fedora provides two tools for IP address calculations. That is the ipcalculator and ipcalc. Ipcalculator was geared towards being used by administrators and ipcalc for use with scripts. This changed with Fedora 23 which provided an updated ipcalc tool which can be used both interactively and from scripts. That, and the fact that ipcalculator is not IPv6-ready suggests we should deprecate ipcalculator and keep a single tool for the job, ipcalc. That way, we provide a consistent way to work with IP addresses which supports both IPv4 and IPv6. == Scope == Proposal owners: * ipcalculator has to be obsoleted in Fedora 24 and ipcalc will provide a drop in replacement.
