Hello development folks,
for tracing back connections, we currently seem to have multiple utilities available in IPFire 2.x:
(a) tracepath, which comes as part of the iputils package (b) traceroute, which can be installed as an add-on (c) mtr, being available as an add-on as well
While none of these hurt, I would like to ask for opinions if we can/should drop one of them. Just a minor issue, but having three tools around that basically do the same thing does not really seem to be necessary to me. :-)
Why are you suddenly in such a mood to drop so much functionality?
traceroute and tracepath do totally different things and we should not drop basic operating system tools.
