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?

Because I accidentally opened the same manpage twice, thinking tracepath and traceroute providing exactly the same functionality. m(

traceroute and tracepath do totally different things and we should not drop basic operating system tools.

Yes, I have noticed that as well by now. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
