Hi All, I want to use iproute2 available with 'git clone git@gitorious.org:linux-can/ iproute2-j1939.git' I noticed from the patch the some sub-directories missing in iproute-j1939 package, need to understand if there is could lead to undesired consequences on iproute2 functionality on other protocols. snapshot of the patch created from 'iproute2-3.10.0'--- iproute2-3.10.0/Makefile 2013-07-16 10:06:36.000000000 -0700 +++ iproute2-j1939/Makefile 2014-05-05 03:00:29.000000000 -0700 -SUBDIRS=lib ip tc bridge misc netem genl man +SUBDIRS=lib ip tc misc netem genl
the iproute2-j1939 branch does not really follow the iproute2 development closely due to time considerations. The bridge & man subdirectory may have been added recently, that is perfectly possible. older iproute2 versions, like the iproute2-j1939 that you have, still work on recent kernels, but you may not be able to achieve settings that became available recently. With regard to can & j1939, the iproute-j1939 is still up to date I believe. Kurt
