why arch use a so old iproute2 version??

I was looking at some qos script to increase downloads performances when i have a lot of uploads and i've found a few useful things but the most of them don't work with the old tc included in iproute2 2.4.7 that's the one we have on archlinux... So i'd like to know if there is something wrong with the newer version of iproute2 or something like that.

Anyway, if someone could find em useful:

And here u can find (and download) iproute2:

Re: why arch use a so old iproute2 version??

hi. I suggest you either email the maintainer to find out why or you can use the webpage to mark the package out of date.  Some packages can take a long time to be upgraded for a few reasons, such as:

The version has some fault  and does not work well with the current arch packages

The maintainer is not very active

The maintainer may not do a monthly or weekly check of their packages to see if there are any to be upgraded or patched. There always packages that do not make the alert list on sourceforge or freshmeat which are usually two sites that maintainers will pay attention to for their upgrade info.

Regardless either emailing the maintainer or flagging the package out of date should get you a faster response than posting here because many miantainers do not frequent this forum.

(btw you can use the website to find who the maintainer is)

I've flagged the packet out of date, anyway it's strange that none made it before, it is a 2 years old version of iproute2....
