Bug Description

According to this website: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man8/rxe_cfg.8.html
rxe_cfg should be provided with rdma-core package but it is not.

I have already reinstalled the package twice. dpkg -L explicitly says the package provides e.g. manpages for the rxe module but rxe_cfg is not present on the list and it is not present in the system.

Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04

rdma-core:
  Installed: 28.0-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 28.0-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 28.0-1ubuntu1 500

You're right.. it is funny because that man page exists for eoan. Focal should not have that man page (and it does not when checking existing source packages). Somehow the man page was copied in "manpages.ubuntu.com" 20.04 session).

Nevertheless, you're probably looking for:

/usr/share/doc/rdma-core/rxe.md

now: it shows that you should use "rdma" command in order to configure a soft-roce (RXE) device:

iproute2: /usr/bin/rdma

And the "rdma" command comes with iproute2 package.

I'm moving this bug to Ubuntu project.

I am not looking for the documentation but for the rxe_cfg tool.

Yeah, since v28 one is supposed to use ip command.

=> https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/commit/0d2ff0e1502ebc63346bc9ffd37deb3c4fd0dbc9

Therefore rxe_cfg will not come back as there is a (better) replacement.

I also don't know why it was doc-copied in the manpage repository, the bug is open but rather lwo on prio I'd think.
