Release new gem version with fix for ip command?

[devwout]

Commit 8c0d99d fixes support for getting the mac address through the ip command. After patching it myself, I figured out the solution was already in master. Maybe this fix deserves a new gem release, as the ip command will be more and more common?

This really should get done - this breaks, for instance, aws-sdk on any OS modern enough to have gotten rid of net-tools (and by extension ifconfig). Are there any blockers to this that need resolving and can be done by the community (ie us lot)?

+1 would really like to see a gem release!

Please do a gem release, thanks!

Wow, I guess I really haven't done a release in ages. For some reason I thought one went out a few months ago, but I guess it was one of my other gems. I'll see if I can't get things ready for a release in the next day or so.

I am experiencing the same issue.

The context is I'm trying to run fluentd + fluent-plugin-s3 in Docker. Docker in recent release has deprecated 'ifconfig' and only provide ip command in container.

fluent-plugin-s3 depends on 'fluent-mixin-config-placeholders'. uuidtools is loaded and get confused.

When I looked at the source code, the bug has already been fixed in 3cdad0a

All we need is a release :)

I'm also waiting next release!

My workaround in recent Docker was patching a ifconfig executables, which is terrible...

Profuse apologies for how long it took to get around to taking care of this. I know it's been a problem for a bunch of people. I've just been bogged down with unrelated startup stuff. 😓
