I'm happy you brought this up and know the author. The Debian package has been carrying this code, which is now in the form of a patch available here: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/pkg-iproute.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/hoplimit.dpatch I didn't know who the original author was which is why I haven't submitted it, but it seems you know the history.... The above patch also includes some minor documentation updates which you seem to be missing and might want to integrate in your version of the patch. Looking forward to be able to drop the patch in the debian package!

I know the history of the patch *I sent* (and btw, it seems I got the author name wrong). I don't think it is related to the one Debian is carrying. > The above patch also includes some minor documentation updates which you seem > to be missing and might want to integrate in your version of the patch. > All right. I will add those documentation changes as well and resend as version 2. > Looking forward to be able to drop the patch in the debian package! > > > > I take it you ACK the patch as the Debian package maintainer?
