Hi All,

Realised that I forgot to mention in the commit about the addition of the CONF_USR_DIR=/etc/iproute2

In previous versions of iproute2 they just had a single CONF_DIR which was /etc/iproute2

In version 6.5.0 they have split this into two CONF_ETC_DIR and CONF_USR_DIR

Here is a quote from the commit regarding this change:-

========================
Add support for the so called "stateless" configuration pattern (read
from /etc, fall back to /usr), giving system administrators a way to
define local configuration without changing any distro-provided files.

In practice this means that each configuration file FOO is loaded
from /usr/lib/iproute2/FOO unless /etc/iproute2/FOO exists.
========================

This resulted in the files that used to be in /etc/iproute2 not being there and the directory also being missing.

I could have just created the directory and copied across all the files in the LFS but it seemed that this would duplicate the files and we are not a typical distro where the user might create customised conf files.

So I changed the lfs to set CONF_USR_DIR to /etc/iproute2 rather than the default /usr/lib/iproute2 This basically keeps everything in the same place as it used to be with the earlier versions.

If anyone thinks it should be done differently I can always change it at the next update.

Regards,

Adolf.
