Hi, All
Edk2 has duplicated ping6/ifconfig6 implementation in NetworkPkg and ShellPkg, we have plan to remove (delete) those applications in NetworkPkg. Please let me know if you have any concern about this.
File to remove:
NetworkPkg\Application\IfConfig6\*
NetworkPkg\Application\Ping6\*
Actively maintained in future:
ShellPkg\Library\UefiShellNetwork2CommandsLib\Ifconfig6.c
ShellPkg\Library\UefiShellNetwork2CommandsLib\Ping6.c
The usage and parameter format of these 2 versions are exactly same. The code in ShellPkg is actively maintained now, some bug fixes were only applied to the ShellPkg version in the past year. Users should use the standard version in ShellPkg in future.
I will send out patch to remove the IfConfig6 and Ping6 applications in NetworkPkg in next few days if no object to this email.
BestRegards
Fu Siyuan
